OK, that sounds like a pretty big boost leak. You're just about losing it all. My cars been in the shop a week and they didn't even look at it yet.

Wow that's a huge leak... Could it be belt slip?

I check this site everyday hoping that you have gotten this solved!
I am going to be ordering my renegade upgrade later in the week. I have given up on the Nitrous idea due to added complexity and am going to just use one power adder.

I added a tank of VP 109 race gas this week and the results were more than impressive! The thing pulls like a mule with the added octane and oxygen enriched fuel. I am just going to be adding race gas rather than Nitrous Refills when I want to beat on it.

Thats Great!!!! I will know whats going on next week and have Dyno #'s too.

I was wondering the same thing two weeks ago about the Race gas. I knew it wouldn't hurt but wasn't sure about it adapting to make positive gains with just a few gallons. Is the fuel leaded or unleaded? Won't the leaded kill the 02's?
I'll try the race gas on july 2nd. I have a private track rental.

MS109 is unleaded and expensive

Just did some reading on that fuel, looks like the way to go. Now I just need to find it locally.

$12.00 Gallon

You might find it at your local track... There is a track about 20 miles from my house where I now fill up with VP. Its $8.50/gal here

They also have the VP 100 streetable which is about .20c less a gallon. I am sure it would give similiar results, as I doubt I am anywhere needing 109 octane.

It really roasts the tires with it though - even in +90F heat!

They do have it at the track for $12.50/gal and I found a place that sells 5gal drums about 45min from my house. $8.50!! That is a great price!!!

The MS109 is actually 101 motor octane. The Research Octane is 109.

I also read that because evaporation occurs in seconds you may be buying 101 octane at the pump, you are in reality getting 94-96 octane! So I may go with the more expensive 5gal sealed drum.

Do you guys not have 100 unleaded at certain gas stations in your area? There isn't many places but there's a few of them with 20-30 min driving distance in Chicago for example.

Closest to me is in Long Island which is about 45min away. They sell 5 gallon drums.
