Unless you are tuned you'd be wasting alot of money. And I doubt a race gas map with the td04 would even be worth it.

A bit of a hijack but is there any way to calculate octane by gallon so for exmaple : 15 gallons of 91 oct + 5 galons of 100 oct = X octane. I'm asking because getting some pinging with the Z because of the CA crap gas.

back when i was cobb stg 2 i put a few gallons of 100 oct in. it made no difference at all.
in conclusion, like everyone else said... it's a waste of money unless you are actually tuned for it.

You can't run any leaded race gas, mixed or not with cats still on your car unless you want to f*ck them up.
