    If i could make a suggestion...dont waste your money on octane booster. There have been a ton of dyno reports and tests that show it doesnt do anything. What you might want to do is go up to bandimere with an almost empty tank and before you go in stop at that gas station right next to it and put in like half a tank of race gas. This way you have less weight in the car and have 107octane gas(i think thats what it is). That gas will do tons more than octane booster.

    yeah I did. I got 5 runs in. I don't know exactly what I did but I think I over revved my engine while in Performance Shift on the first run so I took off pretty good and was good until 60' and then it would choke off and die and then come back to power and ran a 25 the first run. I then ran a 24 and had the same problem on the second run. Third run was a little bit better and i ran a 21 and had the same problem as the first two runs. I got lined up for the 4th run and I decided to see if anything would work better if I turned of the PS. I lined up and i didn't power break it and ran it in normal gearing and ran a 17.004. The last run I left the PS off and power breaked it slightly and ran a 16.319. So i thought i might of just broken the PS gearing but when I was almost home I turned the PS on to see if it worked and it worked again. So it was a decent night for my real first time. I'll be heading down more next summer
