still tuning the car right now- gonna try and run as much 93 octane as possible but for the time being i am running 110 octane-- getting kinda expensive.

would really like advice on tuning-- fuel pressure right now is 25 psi and under throttle dropps to 20 psi- am goin to try to raise it to 30-35 psi but having trouble due to overheating-- waiting for radiator to finish tuning car

that's what ive been up to
