Re: high octaine
I tried changing octane's and didn't notice a big difference. I use to run 91 in it and now I run 89 in it and I haven't noticed a difference at all. It still gets' up and goes and I save a few pennies on fuel.

Re: high octaine
In the U.S. we have 93 octane, though. I can feel the extra kick.

Re: high octaine
It's been my experience that if your motor runs good on 89 octane, with out any knocks or pings, than any higher octane is a waste of money. If you stay with good gas that has the best additives, than you're ok. I think you may even hurt your performance with higher octane then you need. It's my understanding that raising the octane actually raises the flash point of gas so a higher compression engine won't set the fuel off before the plug fires. (knocks and pings)

I too would like some more info on that "nelson tune", including a URL. Will it work with any performance upgrades or is it like most of the other tuning systems which are designed for "basically stock" engines????
