its the fuel bro .in barbados the feul is rated the same way the highest being 91 .best bet bro is to start a partiction on importing high octane fuel like some people are trying in barbados,that is a big political thing and i don't think it will work although i don't know if any further action has been taken ,it was 7 months since i last checked ,or do what most of them do down there use octane booster every time you fill up.

1.9 isn't that great but with that run it's definitly the fuel. The evo 7 should be way faster than our USDM evo8. The only octane booster that works are toluene or xylene from the paint store.

Run the 101 unleaded race fuel and feel the real power of your car. I just hope the bad fuel didn't do anything bad to your engine.

LOL...run the good stuff, I can't complain...105.

A stock E6.5 does a 12.78 pass.
A stock E6 does a 12.92 pass.
In my E5 I run in the mid-high 12s with simple mods.
Thus I'd imagine even with the slight increased weight the E7 should run a "marginally" faster time then the E6.5.

Cheers

Oh you thought of mixing tolrene or whatever it is called. it is used for photo developing.. Alot of RX-7 people use it to mix race gas.


Just an idea..


Also work on your launching. you should be able to hit 1.7-1.8 60fts.

Also the heat and elevation could also be effecting you.
