450hp........

[tidlwav]

I am sorry, My brother is stupid and thinks he knows it all.
He is dumb and don't know squat!! My 99 Grand Am GT1 does need a Body kit, but it does not have 450hp it has a measley 200hp.... I think.... I do run 105 octaine all the time and I did reprogram the computier to run this fuel.. I wish I had never done this.. I was mentaly challanged the day I did this, cause I hade $$ in my pocket and it was burning a hole in it..... I do hane a NOS fogger kit for it, but it has never been installed... Its a dream and a wish.... I think I am alittle scared to put it on, frade it will blow the engine. I wanted to post this mssg. because I dont want to cause a fuss in this forum, and I want to stay a member of the GA OWNERS CLUB!!!:angel1:

[99GrandAMSE]

Cool ... welcome!! :D

[BBT]

Huh?

:???: :???3: :idunno: :omg: :slant: :shrug: :uhh: :wtf: :crazy: :???2:

[Kdawg207]

so what is the question here...or is this just an announcement.

Also, Not to burst your dream but GA's do not have 200 hp stock.:???:

[tidlwav]

Why does someone awlays have to find something to FIGHT ABOUT???? I said the computer has been reprogramed!!!!

[Kdawg207]

who's fighting.

I simply asked what the point of the post was.

Also, reprogrammed for high octane will not give you 200

Relax Guy:2up:

[99GrandAMSE]

This is not a question ... this is a post concerning statements previously made that were tweaking the 'ol BS Meter if you know what I mean ... no worries, I am sincerely impressed the member has the honesty to admit his mistake and wants to get past it ... I'm cool with it!! :D

[Kdawg207]

now we can understand the post.

There was no indication of a previous issue.

Done deal

I take back my previous :2up:

I missed something. There was a previous issue? :???:

I are still corfoozed.............Oh well.

Welcome to GAOC, or re-welcome. Or thanks. Ummmmmm......whatever the situation calls for. :D

[LoneRangers15]

How much is 105 per gallon? Do you get this from a track or from a regular gas station? No place around here carries 105, but when we had a Sunoco it had 101 I believe.

[TEAM_AED]

what had happened is he posted a post looking for a body kit. He also stated with just his NOS, K&N drop in, and re-programmed PCU he was running 450hp to the wheels. Ofcoruse we all called BS on that. But appereantly that was not him posting it, it was his brother. So there was obviously a mixup.

With your mods, NO NOS you probably at around 180hp to the crank. not sure what that is to the wheels.

[Travis]

Best use for 105 is if he wanted to run larger than 75 shot on his motor because of it burning slower it will avoid detonation. He'd need a bigger fuelpump though :D

[TEAM_AED]

what everyone is pretty much trying to say is, with the limited modifications you have, there really is no need for 105octane fuel for everday driving. You would be fine with just the premium fuel.

[kamikaz16]

By the way, 100 low lead runs for 2.79/gal in Maryland.

[ccarr8705]

hah your paying 2.79 for gas? I am still doing the 1.46 unleaded regular. in Ohio. Maybe when i get my intake and exhaust i might go up a little but 2.79 for gas is ridamndiculous

Must be nice!!! It cost almost $3 here too.

And I maybe wrong but I thought racing/airplane fuel wasn't unleaded. :shrug:

[92CamaroRS]

yea it is, well the 110 octane is, the 120 and up tho is leaded. if my friend ran leaded fuel in his stock car he would have problems.

[L!m3]

I call bullshit. No one runs 105 from a computer reprogram.

[CHollman82]

He doesn't understand that the octane rating of the fuel he uses has nothing to do with the amount of power his engine produces. He doesn't need 105 octane, but I do believe he uses it, and wastes lots of money on it.

[Mike Reyna]

I run 92 octane on my bike. :D

prolly old post, but i got full msd ignition and i run 110 octane mixed in with 93.

anyhow, 110 usually runs about 5.99 a gallon, so i only do 2 gallons of it per fill up lol. still fun ^.^

[TheTrader]

wow... talk about back from the dead... the original post was made before I even owned a GA!

[kingkill83]

yea i was doing a search on octane and ran across it under slight itnerest on what the thread was even about lol. then scrolling through it hoping to find an answer (i didnt, so i made a new post) i turned around and foudn somone talking about octane and put in my two cents lol.

[Nitr0Racing21]

Next time don't waste the time to post it. 2003???? gas was like 1.50 a gallon.

[kingkill83]

ahhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!

peace

[KhellendrosXS]

Im wondering why you are blowing money out the tailpipe on high octane unless you are/were having problems with knock. You dont have any mods listed that warrent anything higher than 87 octane...

[Nighthawk243]

I figured something was amiss when I saw the fuel prices... :/

[TA^Guy]

The question is, why waste your time and yourmoney running 110 octane?

Are you running a static compression over 11:1, or have like 15+ pounds of boost?

[Big Joe]

x2. I was like dam, Where are these people getting 110 octane at cheaper then I can get 87 :lol:

[FusionDreams]

I like to run 91 or 93 normally. It just seems to run better with the middle of the road octane. I'll drop to 89 on occasion, but rarely will I go to 87.

[jackpot]

honestly, iv noticed my car runs WORSE on anything higher than 89, less power, seems gutless, just doesnt like it

run 87 almost always, sometimes fill up with 89 but rarely

and those prices I was talking about in Canada, 1.17 a litre thats for 87

[Pontiac]

Just drove by a couple gas bars today, and in my area, they're at 1.079.

[The Artist]

if ure not boosted and ure running anything besides 87 octane, you are wasting your money, and potentially damaging the motor... but good luck to ya :)

[TEAM_AED]

thats insane how old this thread is and how low the gas prices were. We will never see those prices again :(

[TEAM_AED]

oh, and i just realized this thread was started a month after I registered. LOL

To make this simple, it is because higher octane has more additives to make the fuel safer and more stable. The additives dilute the energy stored in the fuel so you'll get less power if your car doesn't require higher octane.

It's like adding water to vodak, it's safer, but it'll have a lot less kick. lol

[g4mbl3]

the average price around me for 87 right now is $3.38... it sucks :S
