Im not being a dick. People told you there were several issues with this build when you were putting it together and you wouldn't listen. Now you see the results of that.

Race fuel wont make one ******* bit of difference unless you NEED it due to the tune. If you were pulling a **** load of knock, then it would help a little...

Its in the computer where your PCM will pick up knocks therefore retard your timing with 11.5 compression your probably right about racing fuel as well as needing a tune for the racing fuel. idk what gregrob problem is man just don't worry about what "other people" have set up because no matter what there is always bigger better and WAY faster out there

Yeah but like greg said with out a tune your basically pissing into the wind with upping compression go to one of the tuner websites on here and see what they have to say I would keep the car man these LT1's are loads of fun and cheap to make go fast

I wouldnt worry bout race fuel. YOu do not need it. Im running 12.1 with 93.. Throw the gear and rr's on if u already got em.. Pull somewieght and sway bar like the other ppl r sayin. Also wat rpms are u shiftin at? More seat time will help also.

The compression it's too high for pump gas. But you are leaving a lot of power on the table. You need to get rid of the shortys and stock exhaust and get longtubes and a exhaust. Also the car is a M6 put the 4.10's in it that you have and some rr's, and if you had the heads off to rebuild the motor why didn't you have any work done to them if you were going to put a cam in

It is tuned but not for race fuel. I don't think. They may have assumed that it was getting race fuel. But it does have a mail order tune
