we have lower octane up here too, to deal with the lower amount of o2

and is that a custom tuned chip? or off the shelf?

it was installed before i bought the car so i belive it was a custom burned chip, idk wat it was tuned to or for, but it had nitrous on it previously, and it coudl be burned for 93 octane, but the prices are too high here...$3.97 a gallon so i just put in 87 octane..dik why i do so bad
