Here is a quick vid of me doing some tuning of the staged injectors. This pull was from 58Mph or 93 kph to around 96Mph or 154Kph in third on wastegate spring, and pump gas. I'm just rolling into the throttle at first trying to get the transition smoothed out a bit more.

Car sounds great man, I prefer pump gas tuning. Race fuel, e85 etc are fine if the car is a dedicated drag car but then where is the fun in that? A lot of the mr2 guys are getting high numbers but it's all on e85 which is kind of gay.

E85 is widely available though out the US, and in some parts of Canada at the pump, and all major manufactures are making there vehicles flex fuel compatible so I would say it is a "pump gas". It would be like 93 or 94 which you can get some places but not others. I guess going fast on gas available at the pump is gay:facepalm:

You can get it here just not at the pump. But for the same price as unleaded gas at the pump and you can make over twice as much power on it.:thumbsup:

Economy does suffer but most guys well trade that for the lower price then race gas, and the ability to make 900+whp on a 4 cylinder motor.
