Just to rienforce what I am talking about this is the research from CNBC read it and weap for all of you buying higher rated fuels, it just isn't worth it!!!!!!
Knowledge is power fellas especially in your pocket books.......

When you launch the video you have to watch a stupid 16 second commercial first........

Cali is the smog standard for rated fuels, in a few years all states will be just like cali......
I am going to ask everyone to please write a letter to your congressman, in an effort to push E85 fuel from state to state.
Right now E85 cost 85 cent's a gallon and is perfect for runnin KA and SR engines.....
E85 is 85% ethanol, and 15% 89 octane petrol..............

I'm tired of paying high prices at the pump so lets do somethin about it, instead of sitting on our asses and paying high prices!!!!

My only problem with the internals I am purchasing will carry a new CR of 11.1:1, getting the wiseco forged kit, and eagle forged rods through NIZZX.
I will have to reset the BTDC to the ECU at 22 BTDC in order to run 91 octane. The closer the piston comes to Top Dead Center the hotter the rated fuel becomes in the compression stroke "leading to knock and ping", so in order to prevent that I will have to reset the CAMS 2 degress more in advancement as well as the ecu. Then I can tinker with the retarding or advancing of the distributor.....
This will reduce even more torque from my KA, but the engine will be super quick with an estimated 225 HP at the wheels.
I will probably have to sell my apexi and get a reprogrammed ecu, or purchase the reprogramable piggy back "the SMT6"......
