I use to spend alot of time at that forum. If you wade through the mountains a horse crap, there's invaluable information, which can transcend platforms. Member Phate is also quite a contributor of all things Mazdaspeed, most recently suspension dynamics.Pretty interesting study. If we could learn the sealing materials used in our fueling system, we could learn limitations without running to failure. I think most commonly found materials in auto systems are fluorocarbon elastomers. Viton. Also perhaps Buna Nitrile, Chemraz and Kalrez. All alcohol safe, but I suppose swell differently.http://www.ecoboostperformanceforum.com/index.php/topic,4595.0.html

All of my perennials are coming back. Redbud and almond look incredible. Dropping some annuals around, here and there. Spring is just the best. Too bad...I've yet to treat the rose bush for blight. Fully expect it'll be back this spring.

Might have to just add meth to the gas.The tank the car came with was horrible.I would see +3 KR cruising at 42mph on a flat road during calm conditions with the stock tune...There is a steep hill that leads to my house...Tuned with E-85 I could slow to 20 and drive up in third seeing plus 5 the entire way on the happy side.87 on the stock tune showed +6 on the naughty side the entire way up.

Help me Torrie!!!!I was on revision 11 when I detuned the black car.Driving it stock was quite shocking to say the least....Last tune showed negative knock the entire run and that was at 20%....was getting ready to start cranking up the timing and moving the blend down to 15%
