From what I've noticed on mine, it's high humidity.

You GOT to loose that body in the trunk!


Bad gas. If you can get 93 or 94 use it. If in CA try mixing 100 from Unocal.

92 Octane is the highest we have around here.

Ordered some Cool-it padding I'm going to install under the airboxes (SL55 intake conversion) to hopefully help this a little since I've read about some positive results by the E55 crowd doing this. Anyone know if it would also be worth wrapping the intake tubes themselves since they also make an wrapping for them ?
