^I told your a** before, running rish isn't good either. alwaysnotlistening

On that note, I need to swp my rear calipers and pads out tonight, and I'll be ready for tomorrow. Did engine oil, spark plugs, tc and diff fluids, and front caliper and pads within the past few days.

I've always spiked my tank with 100 or 110 (if I don't have a cat). The added insurance you get from higher octane far out weighs the 'slightly' deminished performance of running too rich.

Showcar=TRUTH Should see the dust boots on the fronts. Rears in great condition, but it's not winning Hot Import Nights. I'm going to guarantee it happens today!

Get good tune for 93, don't need spike! I asked Petey to tune me specifically for track use, safe AFR, and keep EGTs down. I'm tuned at 26psi at 11.3ish AFR. I turn the boost down to 22psi when its hot out, and hit 10.8-11.1 AFR. I've only messed with the leaded stuff once last year. I don't pay attention to the flash as much.

when tuning car on dyno, you might not see knock. but when on track for 20 minutes, the car get heat soak and you might get some knock, just turn timing down a little. there's no reason why the car can't be tune to run safely on track with 93, and not have to spike fuel with 100/110.
