Default 110 octane gas!!??

Just wondering if anyone has any opinions on putting this in my car? Only mods are intake and exhaust. I'm not considering running on this gas alone. I would mix it with 93 octane, unless you think it's safe?

With the mods you listed there really isn't any reason to run higher octane than 93.

I lookes over some older posts about kind of the same topic. Kind of answered my question. I ordered the test pipe today from SC Suzuka. Will that make any difference, or as stated before, that it only really benefits SC or turbo cars? The rumors aren't so true that the higher octane will boost hp?
I was thinking about debadging my car on the side, too. Any chance you have pics?

if everything else is constant, higher octane fuel does not produce any more power than lower octane fuel.

if, however, running higher octane fuel allows you to advance the timing, or prevents the stock ecu from retarding the timing, then it would make more power. in this case, neither of those is true, so it will make no difference at all.

I am under the impression that since very high octane is harder to ignite, it can actually cost you horsepower when you run it in an application that doesn't need it.

Make sure the 110 isn't leaded!

110 is usually leaded. 100 isnt.
