no, new owner does not run race gas.
Motor blew b/c of improper tuning by the guy who put the motor together again. I dont remember exactly what happened but I do remember it was something to do with the valvetrain. My friend had the car maybe a week and it started shooting cold oil out of the exhaust. Didnt take it over 25psi, definatly did not go to 30+. Yes, the car has those same TSW gunmetal rims, very nice indeed.
Sorry, I got wrong info on exhaust and bore over. I called him up to clarify, my mistake.
Where exactly did you get your information from j30a1t? Im interested too see who lied that bad, b/c Adam my friend definatly did not push it too hard the first few days because he wasnt used to the power. He got it from dallas at 750 or so whp. Motor blew and now its down to 500 (thanks to Jim for fixing it though, the guys at engine labs were kind enough to return the car with two HUGE boost leaks and the key would get stuck in the ignition, motor pushed only 375 at their dyno run).
