Default Pulled the trigger on a fitch

Well, after searching for feedback on the Fitch Fuel Catalyst and only finding rants of how it probably doesn't work by people that have never even touched it before I have decided to try it myself. And let me say it seems to work as promised. The engine is running smoother and I'm even running a Bamachips 93 race tune on 91, and after driving it hard for a while there still haven't been any problems. I need more time to comment on fuel economy since I need to do more driving for that. But so far it actually seems to work. And please, unless you've used it don't post on how it's a load of crap.

Lol. If its working that well, I highly recommend that you continue using the B@ma 93 octane tune, but fill your tank with 87 oct. Then do some wide open runs, just to test the system's true capabilities. Congratulations on your purchase. Hope it didn't cost too much...





Seriously though, running a lower octane than your tune is designed for is just asking for trouble.

Yeah this is soo true....put the correct tune back in!

I am also going to give this a shot, probably after i get the hood/headers all done.

At the first sign of something going wrong I'm going to switch back the 87 performance tune I have been using. But if this thing does what it is supposed to do then I should be completely fine. Yeah, I know it's a little risky, but I'm on the watch for issues. And I will admit if it turns out to be junk, I won't praise it just to save face.
