Default You East Coast people stink - just retuned the car for 93 octane and man does it make a difference

Calculated a 91/100 mix to get 92.7 octane (so the tuning would be a bit conservative) and was able to push timing and boost up a whole lot, while keeping CF's in single digits. Car is signifigantly faster now - we got it up to 135 without blinking an eye.

On the way home some guy in a 997 next to us said somethign like "yeah right" when we kind of revved and smiled at him. Didn't get a chance to run though, would have been quite a surprise for him (it wasn't an S).

I live on the east coast and put 93 octane in my tank everytime I fill up? I don't get it.

Too bad you didn't have a chance to lay the smackdown on the 997. Much better than the Pre-Runner.

Maybe because he lives in Cali, and can't get 93?

It's actually hard to find people that want to run. No one knows what the hell it is
