If you have a naturally aspirated motor and you absolutely HAVE to run it on high octane fuel (meaning higher than 93 octane) to make it last, I am shedding a tear for you right now. =P

DJ had it right, I was a little too intoxicated to make it clear.

I could run my car perfectly safe on pump gas... because I've had it professionally tuned to do so. I can gain another 100+horsepower/torque by hooking a laptop up to it and running a different fuel, because the timing and boost curves can be run completely different with high octane + leaded fuel. In my case, it is just as safe to do so.

When I own a Corvette, it will be tuned for pump gas and will be producing similar horsepower numbers (if not more than) my STi on pump gas because it will be tuned to do so.

I see you have, 458whp on pump, in your sig, FWIW, my brothers NA FORD engine makes more than that on 93 . Ain't no replacment for displacment.

Why do you think I'm switching to a LS-engined car?? :wink:
Although, your brother's NA Ford, depending on how much he put to the wheels, could be about equal with mine. AWD drivetrain loss > RWD as you probably know, so if he's got over 575 hp at the crank on pump, he wins!

Not bad for 2.8 liters on piss gas huh? =P
