Come to Toronto. We have 94 octane at Sunoco gas stations. Been using it since I bought the car and love it. Right now its like $1.14/liter. A fill up cost me no more than $50.

 

Lol that's kinda far.

 

What? You cannot fool a car into think it is running higher octane than it is. Not possible. The knock sensors would have a field day with that one. Honestly LNFs do not like that much peak timing. No where near as much as an LSJ normally runs. There is a point at which more timing is not needed. It will not necessarily knock but it also will not make any more power. That peak timing number beyond which power stays the same or falls off slightly is much lower than most think.

 

This thread is full of little girl fails.

 

in the great words of some one, at some time. you can always a trick a car into thinking what ever you want, you just might not like the outcome!

 

my thoughts exactly,... clutch is gonna love the new tune.

 

Yeah, trick the knock sensors by changing their sensitivity and add timing and see how the pistons like it LOL. I should have rephrased my response to it should never ever be done not it can never be done.

 

Well that's when I buy a new clutch duuhh it's already on the list of things to get soon.

 

ive got the perrrrrrfect recommendation for you on that subject to hun!

 

Hmm I think I know the one. :P

 

id bet so, and NO its not the ACT unit i had made!



get my msg hun?

 

Lol oh no no no no no hahaha. Yesss I got it just hold on.

 

You still have her at 100% applied torque in 1st gear? That is murder on the clutch and the tires especially with the way you have the DALs hitting at 60% driver desired torque. Been there done that with my car. 100% torque in 1st causes rediculous amounts of wheel spin at WOT and makes it easy to get a lot of clutch slippage as you are start off especially up inclines.

 

That was a pleasant suprise.

 

its dialed back a bit, but this is how she wants the car!

shes knows my thoughts about her pedal mapping!

at the end of the day, the car is tweaked for her rite foot, and thats how i'm going leave it.

 

Lol I love it that way, and I know my car verrrrrrrrrrry well and can drive it perfectly fine without it being an issue.

 

Do you have any traction in 1st at all at WOT? I get none unless I commaded it at 50-55% applied torque in 1st.

 

Um a little bit lol.

 

That just means you need more power :P Try to get a hold of some 3 bar maps (if you can locate any) and the connectors for them and have a "write entire" done with the modified version of the Stage 1 tune Bryan has in Bart's HHR (with the appropriate MAF tables for your car of course). That reminds me of what I am doing this weekend after I get off work on saturday. I got both Bosch 3 bar sensors and the connectors for $80 shipped off of a member on here who just sold his Balt.

 

I think the appropriate question here is, when was the last time you went WOT Marisa?

 

You aren't with me enough dear. :P

 

i somehow don't believe you...

i say this because even I don't have traction in first gear. Like 0, zip, zilch, none.

 

I was gonna ask the same question lol

 

It's because I don't smash it in first because I know nothing will happen haha what's the point?

 

traction in 1st?

who gives a ****?

to this day, the greatest feeling i've had with my car is absolutely BURNING the tires off in 3rd going down the highway.

i know you can babe, but i had one hell of a time with it!
