Default Impressions on Marathon 107 Octane

Last night I fueled the car from empty with 107 unleaded, cost was 3.46 per gallon which I think was still high from the holiday weekend. I just wanted to post some thoughts.

When I first started the car I had to clear out the previous '93 that was in the lines. About half-way through a WOT run, the car felt really different. It held the RMPs longer and pulled like as if the turbos just got a kick in the a$$. The power never seemed to end all the way to redline.

When I came to a stop the engine returned to idle and ran quiet, almost too quiet. I would love to be able to afford to fill with this stuff all the time, but over 50.oo a fill-up would kill me.

If anyone has has a station that sells 100+ I would strongly recommend you treating the S to some of that go juice!!!

Default I would suggest reset and readapting the ECU if you are going to continue to run it...

reseting it will make it "forget" it's timing limitations from standard pump gas. it will adjust to the race and you will see optimum performance that way.
