Now, for most people on a stock motor that's not a big deal. But for someone on a boosted setup or built motor setup with a edgy tune and only pumping a few gallons to save weight, it could be an issue.

yup.. race car problems:)
when i put gas in i fill the tank.. and i have a very conservative tune..
i think every number my car has put down has been on qt gas.. i guess once i have a race car like some of the mustangs ill have to go to shell :)

I agree, Jeff said this is the only place he buys fuel and has never had a issue before. And I can tell you with as much driving as I do and as much fuel as I use I have never got a bad tank my self. Here at the shop we see 30+ cars a month for tuning and out of all of those cars everyone of the three were a shell gas issue. It is very uncommon to have bad fuel

I've had bad luck. Friend had one across the street from him we filled the car up a few times and it lost plugs more than once... Never lost plugs at Chevron or Exxon.Maybe that station just sucked.

I've had good luck with chevron fuel, there is just not any on my route to and from work.

Yeah that race the Nic "the dick" posted wasn't exactly a race cause once I shifted into second my car was pretty much dead. It had no power. Even Gary rode in my car after that and he could tell it was running bad. Took it to TS and they put it on the dyno and it was pulling about 9-10 degrees of timing at WOT. Then Clint drove it on the street with Sean datalogging it and it wasn't running right just driving it normal. I think it even went down to 7 degree of timing. Now I refilled at the same QT I always go to off of coit and 121 and the car is driving fine so far. But I am going back to TS so they can make sure it's not pulling any more timing.

Now as far as racing Corey again I will. NA I don't think I will beat him which I shouldn't since he makes 50-60 more rwhp and 200 more rwtq. But hopefully this time every time will be fine and I'll spray it and then walk away from him. We just need to do it when it isn't 110 degrees outside cause my bottle gets hot quick and his SC doesn't like the heat at all.

I've had plenty of people to ride with me will say I can drive just fine. The driver mod is just fine.

why not get something like an OT-2 that you can plug in and log to your phone/ipad instead of going back and forward ? that way you can see if it is or isnt pulling timing.

I'll probably do that.

Jeff can drive no doubt. I can attest his car is damn fast too without spray. The bad gas thing sucks... just bad timing for it all to happen.

I personally always fill up at QT. I've *knocks on wood* never had issues. I heard so long as you are filling up at a place that has constant fuel moving at all the pumps you are okay. It's the places that you don't see many cars (expensive places like shell / chevron) you need to worry more about because their fuel can sit for a while and create more chance of water getting into the fuel.

Junkie 08-08-2013 04:59 PM

I thought street racing was bad?

Lmao

BLK2012GT 08-08-2013 05:12 PM

No one street races. They just go fast in Mexico.
