$5.35 a gallon no matter how much you buy. so $295 for a 55 gallon drum. Only because we have an account with them.

Must be cheaper because you have an account with them. Here in MI you will pay close to $9.00 a gallon.

Wow, maybe I should rethink my desired fuel choice.

We're in the process of it right now.
One thing that we found was contributing to the high boost levels was the fact that the intake manifold gasket was covering a good part of the ports because it was installed improperly. Also discovered that the valves needed a fair amount of machine work, as the valve job was pretty poor. Other than that, the engine is tore down to a shortblock and everything is in pristine condition. Hoping to make more power through the cam and head/intake manifold porting, along with a new tune with some better gas.

Jess tells me you picked up his edis box, hope it works out well 4 ya. You plan on running the cam sensor in the rear? Thats pretty much the best way to do it to avoid problems.

Jake, I am not sure on the cam sensor, I believe it's straightforward to use the factory LS1 cam sensor with the FAST but I will have to doublecheck.

FAST is coming out with an LS1 crank relay box so I can go FAST standalone and remove my factory harness and pcm, which I am still using to control timing but not fuel.
