anyone going to try that 100 octane fmic map :chuckle guess you'd have to buy a bunch of octane boosters for it to work

sounds like a pure dyno/drag map...the way they described it is like it's a one-shot run, and you gotta keep your tank pretty low...

is there a way to measure your octane thru the tank with a dip or something? hydrometer? I have no clue about these things but I picture it might be something like what I do with the marine/salt aquarium...

Really i didn't find a description cautioning a one run type deal, i just saw it sitting there

how to destroy your car map.....wasting time....when can we get our 20 sec flash? or have the performance options load faster so I can use them properly at the 1/4 mile? 10 sec to load is steep when you have like 2 before you go.... you don't need to identify the car all the time....

no...I didn't mean the map is only good for one-run...what I meant was, that the description encouraged you to add the octane booster or the "race-gas" to a near empty tank to ensure that you're at or above the 100 octane mark...so I guess if you have large supplies or access to race gas, then you can refill and test the map with a full tank of race gas...otherwise, if you're running on a low tank, not likely you're doing too many runs or laps with it...

but if you have to add booster and you rely on # of bottles to achieve a desired octane on street gas, then you may not want to use a full tank since that may be a few bottles? (this is the part I'm not familiar with...never touched the stuff...)

or I guess you can premix it, but how do you determine the octance level? and it sounds a little hazardous but this would be the way I'd do it...

I found an octane booster at Canadian Tire before (I forgot the brand) but it claimed to add 6 full octane points to a tank of 75L of gas. Add this bottle, or two, to a tank of Ultra 94 and I think you'd be good for 100 octane.

Don't believe everything you read... How are you going to make sure it is at 100 and not like 98

Lol, run pure octane booster.

You could just go to Redline Performance in Markham and pick up a couple of gallons of VP racing fuel. They carry from 104 to 118 blends.

Don't use a lot of Octane booster. Most contain toluene as the octane enhancer. Toluene is a very slow burning hydrocarbon and if you add more than about 2 bottles to a tank of gas (50L) then your air fuel mixture will still be burning as it goes out the exhaust ports.
