I was just going to mention, and not to serve as a lecture, but for the average car looking for more power from the fuel a better alternative (one that works) to using race gas is to use ethanol free fuel like you might seek out for your boat.

Some guys in C6 section are running it and seeing up to 40rwhp with just E85 and a tune on near stock cars. Seeing less overall fuel mileage though. I'd try it but there are very few E85 stations in my area.

Just curious what kind of gains they said you may see? I know E85 works good for boosted cars.

Grimmy... My car is tuned for 93-100+ octane fuel... You "assumed" i was some JA rice burning kid pumping in liquid HP.. It's laughable really. I have 3 cars and drive the C5Z for fun.. THANK YOU for the lesson though.. Perhaps you should have asked if my car was stock instead of giving me a lecture... just a thought. Not calling anyone a jerk... I posted up, good,bad, no worries here.. we all have opinions.. thank you again for your input... moving forward... back TTT
So In another thread you are just dropping off your car to install these parts, but in this one you are stating the car already had the mods
Didn't your parents ever tell you not to lie?

Yer naughty!
Now that that's out of the way, you should see if your tuner would be willing test tune your car for E85 and then gas just for comparison sake. C'mon we need a C5 E85 guinee pig, and you should be that person as punishment to correct your previous indiscretions
