Now, if his car is designed (modded to, of course) to run best on lke 110 Octane or whatever, by all means run 110.
I totally agree. If you run too high of an octane, the ECU will pickup that you're running too hot and change your ignition settings to compensate - trust me, I've done it.

Just run 92 and be done with it.

Throw a turbo on there for the night too - they make those hot-swappable ones now don't they??? :chuckles:

well i did an oil change today, along w/ the tranny fluid..the tranny was contaminated...came out gray. when i put on the new filter i didnt realize that the old seal didnt come out, and when i started the car and started to leave, my boy told me to shut off the car...right when it started making noise. i had lost all the oil...and almost locked up my motor but its all good now...although 3rd gear is grinding alot.
