Dave,
What kind of octane boost do you use?
Is it safe for the engine, fuel lines, tank, etc.?
I live in Arlington, MA (approx. 7-8 miles outside of Boston) and we have been experiencing near record heat (90+ temps.) and humidity all week. I too have noticed that the acceleration of my Viggen, w/2500 miles, is not as significant as it is when driving in 70 degree F weather. Also, my boost gauge never reaches the red part.
