so i'll be more than happy to remove the thorn that stung you and love the extra 7whp and INCREASED POWERBAND. But seriously op, meth isnt a hassel by any means. If I were you I would atleast consider a 1gph nozzel and do water injection. You need to be open to what people are saying. Maken low 300's on tvs isnt gona impressive by any mean's. Octane+Timming=power

reaper, listen to what im saying. i went from a 2.8 to a 2.6, i went from unported unpolished blower to ported and polished blower, i went from dual pass manifold to single pass ported manifold. i gained 7 horse. we had timing at 19 degrees of advance and moved it up to 21 one degree at a time. for each degree, one more horse. more timing was not going to make magic happen. i believe that people see excellent gains with meth. at some point i may decide to get snows full safejection system. at this point i havent run out of ways to make her more powerful without meth. tvs, then another round of strengthening then come back to the meth conversation.

lol, i try...sometimes
i do end up trolling/whoring a lot of threads with out even trying though some how
but im just excited to have my tvs on again and to see others trying to get their own soon just to see how well they all make out, try to have some comparison between each setup.

Lucas Octane Boost, nets 3.5 final octane improvement on 10 gallons of fuel. and before anyone says anything about real vs calculated octane and octane "points" its 3.5 actual octane increase. so 96.5 final octane. my tuner tried it in his tc and was able to add two points of timing across the board. its as cheap as 7-8 dollars a bottle and has the usual blend of cylinder protectants and such. only thing better is Torco and the cost on that is prohibitive, at least for me at this point. i may buy it by the case in the future. as for 21 degrees of timing? on back to back pulls today my iat2s maxed at 101. its cold out today but damn, every cool mod in the world actually keeps the temps down, wierd huh.

I've seen this Octane Booster from Lucas work in not only his car but my own. It was hard to believe at first but after 3 tanks in my car, I added 2 full degrees of timing up top with no issues at the time.
I finished logging and dialing in his car today and with the fuel he has I couldn't go higher than 19 degrees timing but had to drop it to 18 at around 6500rpms just top be safe. This is a lot more than I expected it to ever get with a 2.6. SMG had him at 18 so 19 wasn't too shabby and it's still safe. I could have gone 2-3 more degrees before 6500rpm and still wouldn't knock but I made it safe. It was cold today.
Just need to work on that idel with the ls4 ported tb and we'll be good
So this is a bump for a guy who would like a TVS
Sell him one!
