05 E55 Pewter K3 w/ LSD
100 octane in K3 cars

I have located a sunoco that has GT unleaded 100 octane used for street use. If I use this gas consistently, will the ecu learn to adapt to this and increase in power. Or is kleemanns ecu only good for a certain number of octane. Any comments good or bad?

Thanks,
Gianni

Mix it 50/50 with your standard gas. That will give you a little more octane than the ECU is tuned to use, but it will provide you with a measure of safety against detonation. If you run it w/o mixing, you will probably lose power. This has been discussed several times. Try searching.
