I have posted before that I found gasoline makes a big diferance. I have tweaked and slightly modified my 87-900T but at times it would boost well into red and at other times just to end of yellow. One day after giving up on tweaking I filled up with
(1) Sunoco 94 octane and my car started to again boost 3/4 into red and sustaining the boost for several seconds before adjusting back to end of yellow.
(2) Filled up with Shell gold and again boosts barely into red.
(3) Filled up with Esso extra -somewhat better than shell with boosts 1/4 into red but flickng back after split second.
(4) Filled up with Sunoco 94 octane again and the boost is back to well into the red.
My conclusion is that gasoline plays a major role and all gas is not the same. Has anybody else experimented with gas??
