thinking about trying it out. What is some of your impressions with running it, Big difference? Can u actually damage the car by running it all the time?

Default The guys using 100+ octane have "race" chips which....

are specifically coded to take advantage of that race fuel. They can switch between programs. So they run a normal setting for premium pump, then fill with race, drive several miles, then switch programs. This gives significant power gains, the APR SIII is good for ~+30hp. Im not sure what the KO3 race program nets, but MarkBradford said it made a nice improvement.
