Have you checked to see if your i/c pump is working?

I don't know if it was the gas I had gotten but don't go to Fina on Harwood and Brown Trail. I always go to Chevron but I was running on fumes and did not want to chance running out of gas. :hammer:

one option would be to put back to stock and stay out of it

this deopends on how many mods you have of course

With the 40-50 temps we are seeing I would not think the IC pump is a problem.

turn it back to stock until you fill up again and you should be fine

May need to replace your fuel filter and fill up from a good station. I would stay on the cold tune. The stock tune has 3% less fuel and allows up to 19 degrees of timing.

I've used Torco Mach Series 100 UNL for years and had good success with it. 32 ounces to 10 gallons of 93 octane unleaded nets about 96 octane, while the same amount to 5 gallons nets 100 octane.

HALO members are fortunate in that our club president is a local Torco distributor. A 5 gallon can typically goes for $100 - $110.
