Ok, so last weekend I went nuts, and dropped 1/2 tank of 76 100 octane unleaded race gas in my car. The difference was noticable immediately. More power? Couldn't really tell, but all the nasty pinging went away and the whole car just felt smoother.
The next day, I reset the computer to clear the long term fuel trims, and what not. NOW it picked up power. It feels so much snappier now.
I hate california.
Next I'm going to experiment with less and less race fuel, and see where the cut off is when I start to ping again. Hopefully it won't bee too much, I hate the idea of droping in 9 gallons of race gas at $4/gal.
I hate to say it, but that MTBE shit they were giving us ran better than this crap with tons of alcohol dumped in.
