I cannot comment on his car as I do not own a 370z. I've not ridden in it w/ fuel nor seen it run at the track w/o fuel. It just seemed quicker, but you are right.. could be a placebo effect. I've never run fuel in a NA engine before. Admittedly, I know little about it other than it's improving my cars performance. My AFR's are fine. Stock compression ratios are already high. I may make a switch from fuel to meth though as fuel is just getting way to expensive. I am consistently trapping higher on fuel - 109mph vs. 112.9mph over nearly 30 runs. I am tuned though, but none of my logs have shown me knocking on 93oct. I'm actually riding the factory knock sensor - the tune is not adjusting timing at all. I need to go back and review the logs, maybe try different parameters, and see if I can see anything.
