100.4 Octane Fuel 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Jeremy M. Kelley on  Tue Jul 9 13:53 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I was wondering what type of boost can I run on 100.4 as opposed to 91 octane. I usually run 13psi of boost, but I was wondering if would be able to run 14 or even 15 psi with this type of fuel in. And I am not mixing for a lower grade, just running the straight 100.4 Thanks

    In europe TME recommends 98 octane and has a slightly higher boost setting in their euro ECU than US ECU's because of fuel Qaulity issues their tech support told me. that is why they run a lower boost for the low octane US fuel's
