here's a situation where you can have your cake and eat it too....

skip the race gas as it is too expensive to burn going to work and never in your tank when the corvette pulls alongside.

just get to know methanol. a 4 gallon fuel cell and an Alkycontrol.com system and you can turn up the boost and crank up the timing. it's inexpensive at around $3 per gallon and always onboard when you need it.

it is nice to know about the B.C. tuner as a friend in Vancouver is acquiring a really nice 36,000 mile FD and will be in need of some help.

it's funny-- there's a place by my house that sells 104 unleaded for $6.50 a gallon, but 110 is only $4.50 a gallon. they said it's because all the buggy and dirt bike guys (i live in the desert) buy more of the 110, so they get it in bulk.

Where is this place? I've been looking for a station or shop that I can go fill up for when I start tuning.

Thanks!
