    I wouldn't even use that garbage in my lawnmower personally. I've heard that it can mess up a motor.

    edit: read that part about damage being a myth, still wouldn't use it though.

    Minor changes in the tune. I upgraded from -6 to -8 feed line and I used a Aeromotive 40 micron stainless inline filter. I also had to swap intank pumps. Went from a 255Hp to a 300+LPh Deatschwerks pump. I already had 60# injectors. They are around 83% IDC now.

    We only have three in the Austin area and two of them are south which are about 30miles away. So I fill drums and keep it at the shop.

    I'd run it if it was reasonably available here. Three stations in a province 1.5 times the size of Texas, closest being three hours away. Lame.
