Race gas not allow you to run higher boost but also a safeguard against detonation during stringent conditions. Nobody say high HP was cheap.

Isn't C16 leaded? I thought you couldn't run leaded gas in a car that is suppose to take unleaded? Doesn't it cause damage?

I get 101 at Sherman Way and Woodley. It's 4.00 per gallon and yes it really makes a difference in high boost cars with the high octane program.

Buddy
Your beast deserve better than 100 octane.

C16 is the best and all that is needed is getting new Oxygen Sensors. This is what most of the high HP Supras used.

The C16 also damages the oxygen sensors. That is why I run 104 unleaded (if I could get around the oxygen sensor issue, I would go C16).

Chad, does this mean you are dumping your cats?

thanks.

All I can say is that I hope your SC'd M5 does not get wind of this thread; she is already upset about the E46.
