Well I'd might as well give an update. On Sunday driving to a buddy's place I laid my car down in 2nd and well, the motor let go..... Not catastrophic, I was still able to limp it 3 miles to my buddies place. After some investigating I found the pick up line to my meth to have broke 
. Compression test shows #4 with 0 psi. I guess better my meth to fail on a stock motor than a built one.
But I looked into rebuilding engine #2 property that got tight. And to do it right with upgraded sleeves ect was going to be over $2000. Trolling on ZZP's website I noticed they now sell the new Gen 3 short block out of the Buick Regal complete, all brand new parts with JE forged pistons for the lsj for $2000. Capable of 500whp in its stock form. So I pulled the trigger on it.
In the same breath talking to Taylor my tuner he has an almost complete ZZP turbo kit he wants to sell with an S252ET. He offered me a deal I couldn't refuse..... So Jon (Soundjunky) and mark I know you're going to be pissed, but I'm going turbo. I just can't make the power I want out of the TVS on pump gas without relying on meth injection. And nos doesn't really turn my crank. So Bluelightning version 3.0 here we go again. I would like to say screw the Balt and go V8 but it's just not in the cards. So might as well go fast with what I got.
I have 3 lsj motors for parts if anyone needs lol. And all my supercharger parts will be up for sale.

Man, this sucks, not because of you goingto turbo, but because this happened for a second time within a year(?)...
Was this the engine you just (re)built?
Bummer...
Ok, there was ALOT that I wanted to reply to, but this one I will;
with higher ethonal content, you will have to run richer to make the same power levels;
I have noticed better mileage with the Petro-Canada 94 gas...
Happy belated Dustin!

I previously assumed that the Petro-Canada 94 was the same swill as sold at Husky/Mowhawk - but I believe I was wrong.

Most of it has just come from squeezing every hp I can out of this TVS. And if you want to do that you just can't do it safely on pump gas.
