mwiener2 Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 when i drove from PA to CO, I had my tuner e-mail me a much less aggressive map based off the one he made for me.

Infamous1 Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 The Blitz intake will not work well with the Cobb stg 2 mapping. Plan on another dyno tuned, this CA91 piss water will require a retune. Get in contact with your tuner and have him tweak your map. Your timing will definately need to be softened up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evan Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I drove from Boston to California not long ago and had a similar situation. Here's my notes on what octane is available by state: http://evangoss.wikispaces.com/Octane+by+State I eventually loaded the Cobb 91 Octane Stage 2 ACN (arizona, cali, nevada) map after a tank of 91. I never felt or heard any knock when running 91 on the TDC tune, but wasn't going to take any chances. I used a bottle of Lucas octane booster. At one point I was forced to gas up in utah somewhere (middle of nowhere really), and the best this station had was 90. I had an extra bottle of Lucas that I used with that tank.

Evan Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Ideally, you'd go back to your tuner and get another map made on 90-91. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had an extra bottle of Lucas that I used with that tank." With another car that happened to me one time also. West of about Oklahoma the population thins out and all they had at one stop was 89. Keep a bottle of octane booster just in case. Also, you don't say if you have ever been thru the southwest. If this is the first time, be aware that there is a whole lot of open land and it gets warm even this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeeeeeYa Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 What everyone else said... plus: When I travelled a lot with long stretches, some unknown, and sometimes at times that included night, I had a habit of always keeping a fresh 2 1/2 gallon container of gasoline securely fastened in the trunk. More than once it actually made the difference, but it always made travel far more comfortable knowing it was there. I now have a new 2.5 gal container, for any trip that exceeds 3/4 of a tank in one stretch. You never know. And of course a small tool kit, some duct tape, flares, and a good medical kit. Lots of water, food, candy, gum, Red Bull. And don't forget colder weather can occur anytime, anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
