in around 7k miles. If you remember NickR, I have only 13 psi peak. If I were you, I would check them, the gap may be pretty big. Also, perhaps you did get a bad batch of gas. I think I did about a month ago, my car wouldn't even reach stock boost levels for about a day or two and I checked everything, plugs, hoses etc. After I refilled it started running full pressure again.
One more thing on the plug gap, I tried taking mine down to 0.9 mm and the car seems to run much better than when set at 1 mm. Mileage also seemed to increase just a bit after going to this smaller gap.
So what do you think of the Austrian GP fiasco? It downright angered me. I payed 330 Euros to see a fixed race?! Finally seeing a F1 race in person was pretty awesome otherwise, and camping with about 50,000 other people is quite interesting also. Best part of F1 in person, the SOUND that you just don't FEEL while watching it on TV.
Good luck on getting your car back to full strength!
