Message	We made maybe 15 passes on 93/94 octane. I was just trying to get a good baseline tune first. Never went back to the dyno with the customers car, as there was no need. He was extactic with what I did for him. With proper fuel and timing, We gained 60rwhp, and it was SAFE. I personally don't consider water injection as a power mod. If it adds power on it's own, GREAT. But I don't ever rely on it for power. Petz #3
