Dex- My friend Justin made the disc for me. Some tracks are crisp and clean, and some are very distorded. But awesome none the less.

i'm all for getting what you paid for out of a car. if you -have- to run 93 octane, then make sure it's tuned for the potential of that fuel. else, it's a waste.

that being said, i would NEVER put 87 octane in a turbo car. i don't think it's consistent enough to be used over time. 91 is a maybe but i think 87 is just outright stupid. one bad tank of gas and you could knock your motor apart.

actually my old buddy at work had a saab 93 with a tiny t25. That thing ran on 87 and got like 33mpg. It was a decently fun car too. I wouldn't touch the tune or boost on 87 though.

+1 Well said.

On a turbo car, 87 octane is like drinking Bull Ice 40oz beers from the quickie-mart.....its beer, but it's shi+!!
