| Hey man! Yeah, been here since last September. Loving it. Nice to be able to drive the Z all year round. :) Downside is the gas. $2.85/gal. and you can only get 91 octane at the pump. Absolutely blows. Had to turn the timing back to 13 deg BTDC, drop boost to 11/12PSI and I still get a little pinging when I load it going up hills. So much less power. There is a place that sells 100 octane race gas, but at 6.30+/gal. it's an additional $50-$60 per tank to blend to about 94! I'm thinking of buying toluene from a local paint supplier and blending that. Same price per gallon, but at 114 octane you need a lot less of it. I'm still trying to find out if there is such a difference as "fuel grade" and "industrial grade" toluene? I have to wonder if there might not be more impurities in the stuff you buy as a paint thinner versus what fuel companies blend into your gas. Still have your black Z? How's it running? ~Ian
