You and me both, I hope the wait isn't too long. After reading True4.2's improved 1/4 time, I'm like a little kid waitng for his new bike at Christmas.

Did you tell her? I'm not even married yet (will be crossing that bridge in May) and I have to be sneaky. Although I think if I tell her now it will be better than having to explain later why I have to use the expensive gas when I fill up. I'll just play the, "It increases my gas mileage" card.

I'm the boss in my house....(as I look over my shoulder)
nah, I've been telling her that I'm gettin this stuff. Ever since I got my exhaust put on, I can't keep HER out of it. I bought her a Civic so she can worry about gas milage, all I'm worried about is power...heh heh

oh yeah, another question...I can only find 91 octane around this area, is that going to be enough for the Diablo? Should I also put in a can of octane boost every fill up?

Your chip will be programmed for 91 octane then. You can get a chip programmed for 87 octane if you wanted too. 91 will be fine. 93 octane just gets you a tiny bit more power.

- the difference from getting my chip burned from 91-93 was MORE NOTICEABLE than going from stock to the 91 octane version of the chip!~

I'm still waiting, too. Mine was ordered 2-22, still on "qued" status. Openclassprop, how long did you have to wait for yours.

Yeah, that's what I 've been hearing too. It's just no fun to wait. But I'm sure the wait will be worth it.
