100 Octane
 
Anyone know where i could find some 100 octane fuel. Im not sure what companies sell it. Im sure its proly sold near a track but i dont live close to any. Also what octane booster is the best. I want it to smell like a muscle car :clap:

1.) There is no reason to run that much octane unless you need it.

2.) Call around some gas stations have it. Or some speed shops have it by the gallon but it aint cheap.

3.)STP Jet Fuel I wont use anything else as a Octane additive

if you want it to smell like a muscle car, get an off road xpipe. It'll smell like your car farted

Zaff03GT 03-02-2006 01:52 PM

Well the reason i want it is I was talkin to a mechanic and asked him what made newer cars like mine smell like the older ones do. He said that the fuel made a major differance. As long as it dosent hurt my motor i really dont care about the price because i only go through a tank about every 3 weeks. I have the predator tune anyway so im thinkin it can only help.

Icefreezen 03-02-2006 01:56 PM

Whatever octane your tune is set for use that octane. Too much octane can slow you down. And i'm with DannyB on this one get a O/R pipe that will help make your car smell somemore. Otherwise your going to waste money on race gas.

ok, that makes sense. The only problem is i cant get an off road x because i live in NY. I am getting Lontubes and a catted x soon but unfortunatley i cant get off road or i would. NY SUCKS

Running high octane fuel will make your car run lean/rich ( i forget which one)...don't mess with it unless you need it..

GT4DUMMIES 03-02-2006 04:00 PM

NY doesnt matter
 
Longtubes and off road pipes are illegal everywhere - so being in NY isnt an excuse... its just do you have the balls to do it.....




P.S.

I do!

Same as in Connecticut... but how we get around that is getting the car registered and passed emissions... and then you put the off-roax x pipe man.:punk:

Thats what SLP is for...

Buy a catted X and then buy race pipes. Doesnt take too long to swap them out for emissions :).

Icefreezen 03-02-2006 07:57 PM

Or just move to Florida........lol..I love it down here

stupid question, but if you got a seperate tune with 100 octane that would help correct? Or would that still be bad

If your car is tuned for that, yes it will help. Id highly suggest a DYNO TUNE for that though.

it allows you to run more timing longer.

Yea, thats what I thought, it just surprised me that no one said to just get a new tune with his Predator tuner if he wanted 100 octane.

stanger00 03-02-2006 08:41 PM

its almost impossible to find a diablo products tuner.

00mustang_crazy00 03-02-2006 09:54 PM

go to small airports they got the 110 Low lead and i think 100 unleaded.

Zaff03GT 03-03-2006 05:43 AM

So what x pipe do i buy exactly? Do i buy the catted, i didnt know that you could just take off the cats and put in an insert. Is that how its done?

Rabbit 03-03-2006 06:17 AM

The gas station by my house sells 104 octane...it's a nice $4.99 a gallon (but that was before the last gas hike, don't know how much it is now)!!!!!

blackstallion 03-03-2006 01:59 PM

get teh SLP x-pipe its probalby the best arond... its cool cause you can remove the cats and put in straight pipes like was said earlier but if you decide to go with long tubes in teh future you odn't have to buy a different x-pipe then cause the SLP will fit long tubes also... i have it coming for my car adn i know someone who has one and they are absoutly awesome

Blk02stang 03-03-2006 02:19 PM

I ran Sunoco 110 in my '02 mustang like every other weekend and the car ran it's *** off n/a and twice as good on nitrous, but we dyno tuned mine with Diablo for it tho. We did have to turn off the rear o2 sensors due to them mis-reading with the o/r X also.

jeredan2003 03-03-2006 06:07 PM

I might get some 110 octane and run a 150 shot one weekend after I have it tuned.:pepper:
