    Having to run premium kinda sucks if that makes you feel better...

    About to order some total chaos weld on spindle gussets and wiring harnesses for my PIAAs. Time to redo the wiring and play with the suspension

    I am sure if I had a few bottles of octane booster I could throw 85 or 87 in it

    Octane booster does not work at all. My Porsche pings like crazy if you run anything other than 91

    That is an option. I would have to run almost full meth in the winter though. -30 with straight water or a 50/50 might not work too well...

    I'm not getting notifications on my email....damn it!!

    Anyway...you never want to run higher than 50-50 with meth!! Methonal is what they put in window washer fluid to keep it from freezing...so you'll never have to worry about your water/meth freezing.

    Instead of water/meth...I carry a can of race fuel. This stuff is the real deal and will take 87 octane to over 100! It's not cheap...IIRC like $30 a can, but if you're out and about and don't have access to good fuel or 91/93 octane...this stuff is a life saver!

    Oh....and @mr optimist glad you didn't have any "real" problems with your SC!!!

    That sucks major. Is it a 944? lol

    Are you running a meth setup? Thanks for the info!

    2oz to a gallon of 87 octane is some concentrated stuff! lol

    I found that the bolts holding the SC on werent as tight as they could be... in fact it looked like there was a little boost leak. I am guessing carbon plugged up the leak and is finally started working... or something. WAY more power now.


    @RedRunner87 Congrats on making it another year from your birth!
