C&L + Brenspeed Tune = Sex

Just installed my kit today and the stang is a ****ing animal. Going to run SCT Live Link in the next day or two to make sure everything is good or if I need to make some adjustments. Spinning through first and halfway through second even with 10.5 inch tires . Brenspeed is the man.

Anyhow onto the tech. Most of the time I goto reputable gas stations, but can one always trust that you're getting the octane you think you are? It seems to me that if you get watered down 91 or something, the tune could eventually start ****ing **** up. Any thoughts?

I've been running either Brenspeed or Bamachips tunes for the last 6 months. Both Brent and Doug can tune a mean ride.

I *always* go to 76. They were the only ones not putting that MTSE crap in their gas. They maintain very high standards and there was a reason they were the fuel for NASCAR for so long. They also offer race gas at some stations. Course you'd need to tune for that AND pay out the a$$ for it.

They are more pricey than most, like the ever popular Chevron, but it's worth it. No unneeded additives.

You *don't* need to be running diluted injector cleaner fluid and O2 through your engine every fill up!

Not sure if it matters to you, but 76 is a Middle East sourced/run fuel company. I live with it.

Thanks for the reply man, I thought this was a lost cause. I think i'll start filling up at 76 stations.

We have no 76 stations here! I just use Chevron or Shell V-power.

if you have a tune that is set for a specific octane level of gas a lower octane will definitely mess that up. as far as gas being watered down i really think this could occur at any gas station. the term watered down is also a funny one. the gas itself isnt watered down obviously. some stations, mostly smaller ones will get gas out of a truck that has filled up other stations. they get what he has left. sometimes condensation could be the case in his truck. but basically when u buy gas theres no way of knowing exactly what octane your buying. i would say stick to brands like sunoco, amoco, bp, 76, shell. then out of those run what your car runs best on. the brand you get best power and no pinging. then uve found the gas you should use. at any rate your really jus guessing.
