Default 100 octane

A local station just started selling CAM2 UNLEADED 100 octane gas. My car a ECS installed Novi with all the goodies tune for 93 octane. It is not a daily driver so price don't bother me but is it worth it or not. Will the car even care?

you can run 100 octane all day Dave, no problem. Nothing wrong with a little extra octane for safety.

Thanks Doug, sorry I missed the March autocross you were going to help me with, I'm just so busy at work I can't breath. Well thats good for you more I make the more you will get. Hope I can make July. So do you think I will feel a bit more power or just simply safety in addition to the meth?

You wont make any more power, just added detonation safety. Since you are tuned with regular pump gas, I would just add a few gallons per tank to ensure a solid octane rating.

Wow is that expensive! I have Cam 2 100 octane in the area and its $4.89 a gallon. I mix 1/2 tank 100 and 1/2 93 when I choose high boost. Costs about $40 for a 1/2 tank of 100 octane.

Is it leaded or unleaded. Their is another station local that has leaded Cam2 and its cheaper. Then again like everything in this state we pay more then most.

I haven't put anything but 104 in my ECS blown car in two years. If you can afford it, go ahead, do it, it smells nice too
