Yourself, we are supplying Burgers and Dogs, drinks and chips, nothing gourmet just a good burger, maybe even some cheese, LOL.

Thanks for the offer.

Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow and having a good time.

Thanks, Geoff.

Please count me in. I've been lurking for a while on here and am patiently waiting for a new Camaro convertible. I'll guess I'll just drive my Vette around until then.

I'm confirmed in, Jon! Can't wait to see the crew tomorrow!

Few more hours.

Our DSV parts did not show up so looks like I will have to take names of the winners.

For everyone who plans on getting on the dyno tomorrow - Note, if you have a chance to fill up your gas tank we'd like to suggest getting either Mobil or BP 93 octane. Our experience is that those two places tend to be a little better when it comes to getting real 93 octane.

We've seen that the new Camaro can be finicky when it comes to cheaper gas and you'll end up not seeing the full power potential as it will get into some slight detonation and pull timing.

With good 93 octane and you'll make your best power numbers.

Thanks,

Eric

Really? Interesting... I've always used Chevron. What do you think of their fuel Eric?

It's a strange phenomenon. Ultimately, all gas comes from just a few refineries. The real difference should just be the additives that individual brands use.

However, we've seen cars come in with "93" octane from a station only to see detonation and a lower power number. We've swapped out for 93 octane from another station and voila, the detonation went away and the hp number went up.

So I can't really comment on all stations but can say that we've seen more consistent readings when it comes to either Mobil or BP gas.
