    What octane is your software for? And building/buying a pressure tester is a must for these cars.

    Are you having any running issues, does the car pull hard? Never a bad idea to pressure test every so often. I usually do it at least twice a month.

    No running issues at this moment, no cel, no nothing. Pulls hard, and feels good to me. I will have it pressure tested this month, just thought i would ask.
