Does anyone have Sunoco gas station near them I can't find one hear in the Big Sleazy.

 

Move to PA, you'll find one on every street corner.

A couple weeks ago I got Sunoco 94 for $1.56 in Selinsgrove. It's $1.80 here in MD.

 

Amoco ultimate has worked well for me.

there are tons of sunoco's in CT...but that one point of octane makes no difference(JMHO) from 93-94. :cheers:

 

Sunoco's octanes are "minimnum guaranteed at the pump". I've had more than one Sunoco gas station owner tell me that you could be getting as high as 100 at the pump with 94.

 

never heard of them down here in the south

 

Why do you need a Sunoco station???

 

Sunoco sell 94 octane as well as some other race fuels.

 

check this out http://www.racegas.com/ trying to find sunoco station near me that sells race fuel

 

The difference between 93 and 94 octane is actually 10 points. A "point" refering to octane is .10 so a point increase from 93 octane would result in 93.1 octane. Most of the octane "boosters" are labeled as such. When they say they increase octane 5 pts., it's actually a change from 93 to 93.5. Just wanted to clear that up. :cheers:

 

I could be totally wrong here...but we have a club member who has consistently used octain booster with each fill up...he cut his cats open to remove the insides of them, and they were all melted and clogged. At the same time, we cut open another cat from a guy's car who never used any additives....his was clear. No additives for me! At least not while running cats.

 

i thought no leaded fuel or unleaded fuel had nothing to do with the cats and i think you can get up to 104 with no lead from sunoco am i right. :confused:

 

Try Chevron,it works well and has a good cleaner in it. :steering:

 

Darling, check out State Oil, right down the street. :p: :p:

 

I don't mean to offend any treehuggers but that freakin' cat is being gutted. Cats are a joke and do nothing but rob power.

 

Yeah 3 whole horsepower :lolg:

$10,000 fine or 3 hp...hmmmm

 

In New Orleans, they would rather give you a fine for your alpine stereo blasting than a cat converter gutted. :lolg: :lolg: :lolg:

 

Back in the '60's sun oil co.( sunoco) sold 110 at the pump!

 

What are you smoking? Can I have some?

New Orleans or whatever state anyone lives in has nothing to do with it. The Antitampering Law is a Federal Law. It was an offshoot from the original Clean Air act of 1970. The original Clean Air act applied only to automotive manufacturers and new car dealers, it was amended in 1977 to include all repair facilities and used car dealerships. The Antitampering Law went into affect in 1990 and covers all manufacturers, dealers, used car dealers, repair shops and all individual car owners.

The Antitampering Law levies a $2500 fine on individuals that knowingly tamper with their emissions control devices. It also levies a $25,000 fine on any business that tampers with or sells a vehicle without the proper emissions control devices installed.

By removing your catalytic converters or "gutting" them you make your car unsaleable. Any dealer that takes your car in on trade is obligated to make sure all the emissions control devices are on the vehicle. The know they can face a $25,000 fine so they will make sure the car complies. If you are lucky they will only make you pay them to replace all the emissions control devices and NOT turn you in to the Environmental Protection Agency. They are not going to risk a $25,000 fine.

So how do you get caught?

Well if you trade your car into a car dealer you could get caught.

If your state ever begins emissions testing (some areas in my state already do this) you could get caught.

If a state trooper (or any police officer for that matter) pulls you over for any reason they can do a complete safety inspection of your car if they are so inclined. Ask any of the ricers in Los Angeles about the police inspections they face.

The original catalytic converters were restrictive monsters the size of mufflers....they restricted exhaust flow and were not efficient. The catalytic converters of today are much more efficient and less restrictive.

The truth is that if you "gut" your cats the tradtional way by jamming a broom handle inside to break up the inside you create a relatively large empty area which will hurt your performance rather than help it....the only way to prevent this is to cut the cat apart and weld a straight piece of pipe through it.

There are much better (and legal) ways to improve a C4's performance....lose the frisbee...open lid & K&N....TB bypass...etc.
