Cajun,

Where was that BP located? Need to make a note of it next time we go to Rockingham.

It's between Old Charlotte Hwy and Concord Ave. right at the "Y", about 1/2 mile from downtown Monroe.

Can you write a 110 tune for my F150?




Next time you go to Rockingham, let me know, maybe we can meet up someplace.

Yes and no. I can do a tune for 110 Octane but the biggest problem is that changing the timing curve will only provide gains to a point. What would really be needed is compression to make use of the 110.

I'll definitely give you a shout next tim ewe get up that way!

I was just joking about the 110 tune, I'll probably stick to 89 for custom tunes. I run it the most and it's my understanding that you shouldn't mix octanes between specific tunes, right?

Oh and Corey, I'm comstantly being told I say it wrong...it is mun-ROW.

What's funny to me is that Wingate is not pronounced Win-GATE, it's pronounced WIN-git. Go figure...

OK, to continue this hijack: In Arizona we have a pretty little town named Prescott, but, it's pronounced "Presskit". We have another, very little town called Why, and pronounced "Why" - I dunno why.... (Actually, I DO know why, but I'll let you all find out why. )

I rode my motorcycle over to Rockingham yesterday. The BP on 74 going into town there doesn't have any VP. Guess you're gonna have to come see me in Monroe.

Bill,

The BP at the intersection of 501 and 301 in Rowland NC (2miles from South of the Border) has 110 octane fuel. This is about 45 miles from Rockingham, but I'm sure you know the location of the world famous S.O.B. I referenced above. I'm in Laurinburg, half way between the two.

You may not remember me, but I called last week with questions about a gryphon for a 08 f150 5.4 4x4 screw I just bought. We discussed the 'gotts mod' over a CAI and your suggestion of magnaflow over flowmaster. It was the one that has the 3.55 gears too instead of the more common 3.73. Anyway, thanks for all your time. I'll be making my order soon.
