    No, I didn't mean they would advance the timing, but the chip would have the ability to be tuned with said fuel in mind.

      yeah, but there probably isn't even one person on this forum that has done that. Most people don't do any tuning at all, it's more like bolt a bunch of go-fast stuff together and pray it runs. :p

          are you serious? A girl is going to pick the Honda every time. Girls like warm, soft, roundy, bubbly things; not cold, hard, chiseled, manly boxes like the E30.

              That shit is sigworthy.

              FYI, you can get VP Racing 100, 105 and 110 unleaded stuff. Not sure if you can get Cam2 unleaded above 100.

                In my experience, octane is not really a factor on these motors NA. Not unless you're REALLY really really pushing the tune. (like the 190whp stock M50 we tuned on 93)

                  That's fucking impressive.

                  Makes me want to drive to GA for a custom tune.

                    My thoughts exactly when I saw that the M50 guys here are messing with the Hawnduh crowd.

                      Well maybe they only like swapped, red late models then????

                      All the girls that have seen my car thinks it's "cute," then I give them a ride and they say "wow this car is awesome!" ;)

                        ha ha all this because of some ass in a civic lol.
                        i just thought it would be fun to run some rediculas ass fuel and stomp him but yeah i guess it wouldnt help withouth a chip for the timing...
                        ill kill it regardless. i got headers and 2.5 in exaust as well as a cai with no highbeams for the "air flow". hes dead mon. and i would think chicks prefer bimmers anyways.
                        at least mine does.

                          s2ks are pretty quick, he's going to dust you

                          and high octane fuel will NOT add power, it only resists detonation more, which allows more flexability in agressive tuning or forced induction

                            Ladies love mine as well. I show up in the E36 or E46 and they ask why I didnt drive the old car.
