[QUOTE="GT Premi, post: 14578829, member: 121775"] Ain't that the truth! I went from the Cobra Jet 65mm twin throttle body to the Super Cobra Jet mono-blade throttle body with no tune update and mine still will puff black smoke at the top of the rev band. I, too, will let mine sit for months on end sometimes between driving spells (2-car garage and the Forester is always in the way) and haven't had any issues with gas. However, when I do initially take it out, I don't hammer on it at first. My "methods" are to park it with a quarter or less fuel then use that [possibly water infused fuel] to gently drive around to get everything up to temperature until that's almost used up, hit one of my favorite gas stations to fill up with some fresh gas, then go have fun. That little bit of water might be steam cleaning my combustion chambers and valves. :lol1: Wow! That's some good service. If my engine ever gives up the ghost, I'll be giving you guys a call. And that is pretty much how it always plays out; a drivers race between stock CTS-Vs and '11/'12 GT500s. But few people want to believe it's true for some reason. :??: Get anything over 700HP at the wheels and the first thing people say is "you're pushing it" on a stock assembly. Why? :shrug: [/QUOTE]
