I'm sure it's all different deppending on who is hosting and such, just some basic info through it my way!

Here is last autoX out at Nellis AFB. Nice grippy course, and it was like 2 miles long!

Opinions on a reliable, good, well operating alky/water kit, for those who've used them?

you pulled out the Heli-coil...needs to be retapped and new heli-coil installed...should be able to be done with the valve cover still installed on the car

I could do it for you but im out of town atm. I cant find sizes of those bolts online here and i know its metric....but im sure the metric kit has that size in it.

oh a side note...i recommend Time-serts..they are easy to install and stronger then heli-coils IMO.

26Psi is doable on 91 oct only..but you will get a knock count of 4-6 around 6000 RPM and alot of timing pulled

ANybody know of any negative of running 1/2 tank of unleded 101 mixed with 1/2 a tank of 110 leaded. We have the red river shootout this weekend and the store that carries our 101 traktech fuel has run out and won't have anymore till May. So I have 1/2 a tank of 101 and was going to top it with 110. I'm running AEM EMS so the front o2 is somewhat unused and the rear o2 that is the AEM is far enough back I don't "think" it will hurt.....any thoughts
