do we benefit from running 93 in this car? I'll have to look into that ethanol mixture as well. what psi do you run in the tires?
IF your seeking full potential from your vehicle tuned or not and have 93 in your area then thats the way to go,tire psi 32-f-34-r,track 22-f-24r,hope this helps and good luck.

That's some low pressure. I went 28 front and 29 rear tonight at the track. I should have went a liitle lower because I was spinning a bit with a nice chirp into 2nd. It seemed like a grippy spin if that makes sense. Only made 4 passes and was content for the night, so no adjustments made.

Shonuup what brand plugs are you running?

There is a 93 in my area, next time I fill up it'll be 93. I think I had my questions answered, but I keep thinking I am forgetting something though.

93 is a must for these cars IMO. Any less you run a risk of pre-detonation. I just started adding 2 gallons of e/85 to counter the winter blend fuel also. Great results so far. From 87 to 93 octane is like 10 hp stock.

So 2 gallons of e85 with 17 gallons of 93 octane, correct? What percentage mixture does that give you? I don't know much about e85, would that be considered as what they call it from factory, e10 or e15?

The exact mix I'm unsure of right now because I haven't found out who BP buys their e/85 from and it may take a slight hit in the winter fuel mixing also. Assuming it's 16-18% right now. All I can say is my knock readings at WOT went from something, to not registering any knock at all through 4 quarter mile runs yesterday.

You guys are awesome, thanks for the help! I will do some research on e85, and start adding it to the tank.

If not monitoring your fuel rail pressure and AFR I would not exceed 2 gallons a tank, maybe 3. But a scantool combined with something to monitor on would be highly recommended in this area as all cars run slightly different.

Would shifting from D to S and back while driving be okay? Just curious on this one. Will it damage the transmission?

Awesome, thanks guys. I tried it today, and I can feel a slight change when I do it.

I ended up hooking my phone to the obd and pulled the torque app. The boost at idle was around -10, once I got on it a bit, hit like 9.7. So I was just curious, what psi are we running on these? What other important parameters should I add on my screen to watch for, like wide and and so forth? And what should be the normal readings? I have the free version of torque app, so I'm not sure what im missing yet.

Thread labeled torque PID'S take 2 is the mother load of info on this. Knock is my main reason for monitoring although that is changing now that I'm mixing fuel.

You need the pro version to add custom PID'S I think. Knock is a custom PID.

Turbos are rated for 14.7 psi. Torque is off on this gauge slightly.
