I certainly and dearly wish gas would just be gas, but it's not. And it's not even just 5% of the country, not in terms of car sales. It's the entire West Coast that's a maximum of 92 ethanol blend, and out of that, Cali and others are only 91. Add in the variances in gas between gas stations, and we cannot even guarantee the 91/92.

I do know people want to see more numbers, now, but testing does take time. What they are doing in Japan right now isn't in regards to peak numbers, but thorough testing of the limits of the stock fuel pump(s) and injectors. That's important data for reliability of the engine boosted with our kit, we know where it can go to safely with the standard setup, and when it's going to hit the wall on OEM fueling and those parts will need to be upgraded.
