Default 100 octane for C8 Zr1

Hello,

Is it safe to use 100 Octane in a C8 Zr1 ? also if I want to mix 100 & 91 to achieve a higher octane is it worth it ? will the exhaust sound, noise be any different than using straight 91 since that's what we have in Cali ?

Thanks

yes, you can put 100 octane gas in the ZR1.. from my understanding, the vehicle's engine management system is calibrated to take full advantage of high octane fuel. And no tuned required.

Im sure there will be an E85 tune for it in the future..
