jp and i ran again today jp won both times from a 40 roll
at first it was fairly even but he would steadily increase a gap between us. the longer we went the further he seemed to get. jp for sure had an improvement on his part from last time. idk about jp but i had little over quarter tank of 87 octane.
jp : magnaflow catback, no cat or resonator, k&n intake, lower grill removed, and a fantastic new tune!!!!
me: wrapped crossover, flipped mm,

Try running 91 or 93 in it, and I guarantee you'll make it closer race. Given his mods, I'm surprised you stayed that close running such poor fuel.
These cars get a ton of knock retard with 91 octane on the stock tune. I can only imagine how bad it is with 87.
Just curious...Why run 87? The difference in price between 87 & 91 is like $3.00 a tank. Yet you've taken time to mod the car. Not trying to be a Dick, but I'm wondering why you wouldn't run the best fuel you can find?

^ I removed the back seats and some other stuff and it weighed 3470.
We done the 40 rolls in 2nd, due to my traction issues. Had a full tank of 93, I weigh 300 and my car was full weight plus, tonight.
Just came back to provide some info, y'all take care.

the reason i had 87 octane was because my mom asked to use my car earlier that day ( sometimes she just likes to drive it) i said yeah sure, and she was just trying to be nice and she filled it halfway with regular gas for me because she knew i was going on a cruise with a bunch of local car enthusiast such as jp that night ( 318racing.org) .
usually i would have premium though.

I would just like to say everyone is correct on the knock retard. I actually put some in my GXP and hooked the scanner up to it and even idling I had a small amount of KR, Going down the road it was crazy so I run 93. All the time.

unfortunately i believe i am the factor that slows my monte down the most, not lack of performance mods or anything else ... because i weigh nearly 320, and at 6'8'' i dont exactly get in the monte, i kind of wear it ... but this is the case for most cars ive ever driven ...

i thought stealthls4? ( i think thats his name) didnt he do a bunch of weight reduction done in his, no rear seat and what not? that 3700lbs seems a little odd since you had the seat and everything out of it. i wonder how accurate the scale you used was.
