Another Newbie Question


How much better will a car tuned for 93 octane car perform than one for 87? I figure that's what I want to do when I get my SCT Xcal II

why don't you put 93 in it now. Its not going to make that much of a difference, especially if you don't have much done to the car. you are looking at about 5hp

Where the hell do you guys live that you can get 93 octane gas? The best I can get is 91 or then step it up to a 105 race fuel.

MS, AR, TN, AL, LA, TX, OK, GA, SC, FL, MI..........

Those are a few that I personally know of, but I'm sure that most every state sells 93, but I could be wrong......

hell, where do you live that doesnt offer 93 octane is the question here really?
I never been anywhere that didnt.
Personally I run 87 octane, dont seen the point in running 93 in a stock car, and my wallet agrees!
