Hi Chris,

You have to run the DJ motor on super and I have only run my engine with the
digifant, ox sensor and cat.

You could try running it with the European  Digijet set up and see if it can
handle running on the best fuel we have (super). But be sure you do not get
detonation (post ignition) or you will likely blow the motor. In fact,
pinging (pre ignition) isn't a good idea either.

As I have mentioned, I and others have had good results with the digifant
set up. I have a about 30 K on an engine that already had 70K on it, and
it's running fine.

Kim
