I emailed Steve Dinan, he said that if I use 100 octane I will be at 404 hp. I forgot to ask about torque numbers. My only problem is the closest 100 octane station is about a quarter tank away. I also emailed a Sunoco rep and he emailed me back with his phone, I will call him on Tuesday to see if there are any closer.
talk to calton he knows whats up

If you don't have a station near your home with 100 at the pump the easiest thing to do is buy 55 gallon drums at a time and pump at home in your garage if you want to run it a lot. In the past when I had actual fast car requiring better gas this was always the easiest solution.

+1, good advice...55 gallon drum actually lasts decently long if you run 50/50 or so mix once in awhile.
Check out this calculator for mixing octanes: http://www.bazellracefuels.com/Calcs/OC1.htm
5 gallons 93 + 5 gallons 100 = 10 gallons of 96.5 octane sweetness

. What I need is a remap to really reap the benefits of using higher octane. However, I did just learn that I've added 22 rwhp to my car with the mods I've done thus far. And that's RWhp! I think the remap will be the best though. You see, I find myself driving down narrow, residential streets all the time at 155mph and I'm sick of it. I want to get it closer to 180mph. Hahahahahaha!

I found a place, S&K Speed Shop www.skspeed.com in Lindenhurst, that sells VP racing Fuels www.vpracingfuels.com in 5, 15, 30 & 54 gallon containers. They have a wide range of octanes and have 100 & 110. The 5 gallon container is around $70. The Street race fuels are lead free and work with modern fuels systems and catalytic converters.
