I'm supposed to be doing some tuning with Mario in the afternoon tomorrow, but I can possibly meet up with you before the tracks. I'll PM you my number. Just give me a call in the early afternoon & we'll see how it'll go.
As for lowering your ET's, I don't think it'll really do too much in that respect. What it WILL allow you to do, is tune more aggressively with some form of engine management. I don't think the stock ECU is able to compensate enough for it for you to feel anything, or notice any lowering of your ET's.

12.61 with Tolulene
12.8x without Tolulene with a full tank of gas.
Never messed with that xylene stuff, seems like too much trouble.
Tolulene has never failed me, ask anyone here.

i'm new to the forums. but ..
has anyone thought of using a water&menthal/alcohol injection? from what i'v read on a large number of forums, it is a tried and true solution to detonation and provides the ability to lean out the AF mix (better gas mileage, somthing i'm shure we are all thinking about at this point in time).
plz, no flame ....just my $0.02

Agreed, but the initial cost and the fact that I'll have to retune all over again are keeping my lazy butt water injection free.

I certainly considered it. However, the problem I have is with positioning of the spray nozzle. It would actually have to be mounted directly on to the throttle body on a WRX. This is due to the short path between the top mount and TB. Anyone else have thoughts on this? If you have a FMIC, it's perfect. Just beware of running out of fluid when running high boost.
