You can get 100 octane at some 76 stations for ~$4.29 a gallon FWIW.

not to hi-jack a thread, but anyone car to guess how much timing can be added by switching from ca. 91 octane to a 100 octane race gas? assuming the tank is 100% of each.

Kind of odd.... 5.O's have been around for 15+ years in northern california, but there has been no daily driven turbo 5.0. There is probably a good reason why this is so.... I'm sure you'll figure it out soon enough [patriot] PM me when you're daily driving that combo.

that would be blower... with a switch chip.. so i can have 100.. but mixing will only get me to about 98.5 or so... would be the best way for me to get that 100 to sac.. with out going out of my way to fill it up..

if i used to daily drive a stroked 350 to 383 with full ported brodix track 1 heads that flowed over 320cfm, had .720 inches of valve lift, 3500+ stall 4.10 gears...... i think i can take a turbo no problem [Big Grin]
