Thank for your inputs. I am just thinking about it. My coupe has 315 hp and if the product REALLY work as it claimed, then I should get up to 350 hp and 370 lb of gut, right? Let me take care of the phone thing first, then the chip might be something next in the line, otherwise, a new set of wheels and tires. Then, maybe have to hire a divorce lawyer. LOL

I wonder what the 91 octane program would get. I don't have time to run around finding 100 octane gas.

You can run 91 on a 93 chip, the anti-knock sensor will retard the ignition to whatever octane you are running. I don't know about the long-term effects though.
Some magazine tested a bunch of Octane Boosters and none of them lived up to what they claimed. That's why I have been using the 91/100oct mix.
Drive Safe, but FAST.

I was just talking to Travis and I am getting it for sure now.
I hated the throttle response and I figured they could get more fuel.
I have 93/94 octane in NY, so I should be fine.
Does it feel like a different car now?
