that won't add power unless you have raised the compression ratio, are supercharged, nitroused or have other power adders. high octane gas actually burns slower.

If higher octane burned slower, everyone would be buying 87 Octane at the pump. Usually throwing in a higer octane provides noticeably smoother acceleration. I only run 89-91 in my car. Good luck with your mods.

RE: Cheap Mods
Not sure about removing the screen in the mass air meter, I was told by a mechanic that the screen "straightens" out the air and directs the air into the little sensor hole so the computer knows exactly how to mix the fuel. He may have been high (his real name is actually Charlie Brow) but I never took mine out.

Who told you that? That is a very untrue statment.. Higher octane burns MUCH MUCH more efficiently than lower octane gas, even if you don't have your timing bumped, but bumping your timing will also help with performance, and better fuel burn ability. If the fuel burned slower, high performance vehicles such as race cars, motorcycles, etc. would not use them as they need the most efficient burn possible.
If higher octane burned slower, everyone would be buying 87 Octane at the pump. Usually throwing in a higer octane provides noticeably smoother acceleration. I only run 89-91 in my car. Good luck with your mods.

Oh & btw 118 octane burns the eyes when you have to stop @ stoplights. [sm=boohoo.gif]
