Cliff, no worries about the Holley, it's long gone

One change I made is that I used to run 100 octane, either straight in or mixed 50% (more or less, depending on when I got to the pump). And yes, at nearly $10/gallon, that was a lot! Then you pointed out to me that if I'm not pinging, I'd likely go slower with higher octane. So I stopped putting that octane in. Maybe that has something to do with my temps rising? That's what someone else suggested. It's worth a try checking, now that I'm logging my data more carefully.

Speaking of data, I checked the dates on some of my pictures and it looks like my temp issue actually started before I installed the Qjet, even before I changed intake manifolds (I ran the Holley on the new intake for about a month). I know it definitely got much worse when the Qjet went on last November, but the problem was clearly lurking before. So I must have a few things going on as you said before, Cliff.
