New England BM3 Owners

Hey guys, just wanted to start a regional for bm3 in NE. One of the issues myself and another person seem to be running into is poor gas quality . Wondering if others in the NE area are running into the same.

For example, here is a stage 2 91 octane run using shell 93

Timing is bananas. As well as some wot knock. Most of my logs I post , Halim mentions that I'm running low octane. Wondering if others are facing the same issue running a tune in the NE area.

Did the NE switch over to the winter gas already?

So the verdict is definitely in, CT has absolute piss for gas. Re-ran stage 2 91 octane with 93 fuel + 5 oz boostane. Timing looks fantastic

Not sure if anything else wierd is jumping out in these logs but they look good to me
