nvm, for some reason, the tube does not reach all the way to the gasoline, im guessing the tank is either shaped funny or have something blockin the damn tube, but anyways i brought one of those racing octane boosters, which they claim raises 5-7 octane numbers and hopefully it will be koo...

87 is all I ever run, even on 85 shot of nitrous............

Maybe when I get a 14B i'll change, but only planning 6 psi.

Why don't you get one of those goofy hand pump/syphon things and pump it into a can or another car?
