If you are going with a higher octane and a tune would it be worth it to go with Shell V-Power? Would this be any better than other 93 octanes? Is it advisable to go with better spark plugs when going to a higher octane fuel?

 

I like it and have had no issues but V-power is the best gas in my area. Everything else is locally is connoco(spelling), Fina, phillips 66, and other unfavorable brands.

 

i know that infinity deals here say that v-power is the best for your engine, ford along with most other places says chevron with techron.....so i bet they are along the same lines of quality

 

theres no point in putting high octane in your car, without the tune.. your just wasting your money. get a tuner, get the tune, get the higer octane

 

he does have a tune he says i liek vpower i seem to get mor emileage but with chevron with techron i get a louder noise why i dunno maybe its just me

 

oh,and didnt noticehe asked about sprakplugs..

spark plugs are really tricky! if your not careful you can cause detonation because of plugs, i learned sooo much in school about spark plugs its disgusting.. we spent a week straight on it.

ive been told that people put plugs like the platinums or the bosch 4 somthing (i dontknow names lol) and have blown up their motors or have caused severe internal damage because of plugs alone.. like those(im driving a cavalier and i put the best plugs money can buy, my car runs like crap tho, cant be the plugs) but its not just cavalier , it can be any motor.

go to a reputable performance shop, or call one, and get their info on what they tested with what plugs..

80% of hte time stock sparkplugs are THE best plugs for your car even after modifications. the factor did their homework for a reason

 

Check the other thread... the Spanish Oak will actually adjust for higher octane.. now whether or not it makes a difference you can feel I don't know... but it has been shown to make a difference on the dyno for the GT... I assume it will make a difference on the V6 since I've seen the computer try to add spark when it thought the car was "under-sparked"

 

Spanish Oak? Oh, I just read your article in MM. I was just about to travel to our job site (oilfield surveyor) and saw "v6 screamer", flipped to the page and thought: "Hey, I've heard of thiis guy..." Cool article. V6-Represent! Now that I'm finished being a w-i-g-g-e-r, what's that Spanish oak a-boot?

 

Thanks... A guy came up to me yesterday (i was at a local car show) and says, "I've heard stories about this car.... it's a V6 and it goes like Hell!" LOL!

Anyways... to answer your question, Spanish Oak is the name of the car's computer....

 

rofl.... spend some money, some more money, and even more!!
