    In any event, I want you to let us know what happens here because pf my super human curiosity skills.
    Hey Marty,

    I don't expect them to do anything but since another guy buys ALL the gas for his "Track Car" from the same "off brand" seller had the same problem I decided to point it out to them and they have replied. No way to prove but the "off brand?" transporter could have gotten a mixed load at his terminal...ironic we both had problems with fuel bought at 2 different Parker's stations at around the first week of November?? Also, this was the first time in 9+ years I haven't bought Shell 93 Octane....never a problem that I know of with the Shell gas......was it stupid of me to save $0.35/gallon....probably in hind sight!!

    The fact that none of the "High Mileage" engine components show any significant wear and tunes don't just change on their own says it was probably a fuel problem (no I did not put Kerosene in it)!!

    Quite possibly my 174K mile fuel pump gave up.......new one going in now just to be sure!!

    Steve is gonna start it after rebuild with the current tune to see what's what and go from there!!

    Whatcha think the jury will say??

    I think if the jury gives you a $100 gift card it is because they are feeling the holiday spirit.

    Sounds like you have no hard evidence, why would this even go to trial much less a jury?

    The typical Street S/C engine sees peak cylinder pressure ~20% + of Non-S/C.

    It is the increased duration of peak cylinder pressure that produces the majority of the power increase.

    At 6,000RPM "bad gas" can very quickly result in damage to multiple engine parts.
