Shut up jerk

It's actually for another car of mine--the supercharged jeep. I have a piggyback system to run 91 octane, but want to take it out to go with the original controller on it, so I need to run 93-95. And its no where to be found except this little station on the Santa Monica canyon.

Thats why I asked And plutonium is helpful, too.

There is a 76 with 100 at the pump on Pico and Barrington in West L.A. If you go Ocatne boosters, check to see what it will do if added to particular octanes beforehand. I know NOS Racing Ocatane booster has a chart, or at least it did. It's the best one I tried when they all came out. Basically it just makes the car run smoother.
You only really need to go 93+, or 100 to handle knock/ping when you go FI, allowing more airflow. Some cars, such as Vettes are tuned so finely, that if you were to use Mobil over 76, 91 octane you'd ping, but run slightly rich if you used 76 over Mobil. Go figure.

I'm actually a little shocked. The jeep is faster than the g35 without the blower The only problem is, no one wants to race a jeep...they all want a piece of the g

Speaking of pieces of the G, can I get your glove box lining?

Good question--I didn't want to redneck it like every other jeep owner and lift it And this is something only v8 owners will ever say: it needed more torque and power.

The lame thing is, I still think it needs to be faster.
