I'm sure it was the cam's fault that it snapped. Couldn't be anything else.............I mean anything..............nothing else could cause a cam to snap.....................LOL.

I'm guessing he is refering to who installed it, and again just guessing.
I have actually seen some one improperly torque down cams and
seen a oem one snap in half. I have the cosworths and installed them
myself so (knock on wood) hope this doesn't happen to moi!

I'm getting closer when the road bends every year. Next track even will be interesting indeed. I've been practicing.

But yeah, Sunoco seems very consistent from place to place. Since I mostly puter around town on factory tune I get the cheapest 93 I can find. At 9:1 AFR it doesn't seem to matter.
