110 Octane(Race gas)

gentleman, as you can see I never blog, but do read and follow this site. the question I have is this, my understanding of high compression engines and pre-detonation with accompanied flame fronts is what gives us the "pinging" we get from this problem. The 'fix' is raising the octane in the fuel, which has no hp benefits once the problem is fixed....so are you sure ..from experimental data that using 100 octane will do anything other that deplete your pocket book.

This would be true without a tune, however the OP said he has a high octane tune.

Still not worth the added cost though IMO
