Untuned STS 60mm... Xylene an option??? Just got the 60mm put on today, and only pulling 5psi. Still have stock injectors for the moment. I am getting the car tuned in a week, will Xylene keep it safe till then?? If so, how much do i need to mix per tank??I can't keep my foot out of it. I noticed it starting to fall off in the top of third. Do you think this is a lean conition?

I hope you have some $$ saved up for a new motor. DO NOT BOOST AN UNTUNED MOTOR. If you still have the stock tune in there you will blow it up. Just use some self control and save your $$ and motor.

I would wait to boost it until you get to check the tune because no matter how much octane you put in it ,it will break if the tune is real bad.
As far as Xzylene? I have used it for years in my turbo Buicks and it does make a huge diference. just make sure you add a little Marvel mistery oil with it.

Ha good luck with the death you just gave your motor. Just keep your foocking foot out of it til you get the tune and you don't need to worry about adding octane. It's not knock/detonation you need to worry about right now...its the LACK OF FUEL!

He says it starts "falling off in the top of third."
I have a LITTLE feeling he's been flooring it and rowing through the gears and stopping after redlining third.
Another LS1 bites the dust.
