Now I am wondering if this is a good or bad thing...Europe only starts at 95 and I usually put 98 or 100 in when filling up. Does this mean I am wasting my money on the higher octane, or will the chip know how to deal with them as well?
I'm clueless when it comes to these things [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif[/img]

Pete told me that the stage one rev limit is set to approx 7200 rpm and that there is no real use in revving past 7 grand with an otherwise stock engine (save for airbox mod and filter). Ideal shifting revs are supposedly 6800 - 7000 rpm. I now shift at 7000 and it feels more natural than having the stock limiter kick in at like 6.6 or so (which it did for me on numerous occasions). If going by the ear and gut I seem to hit the 7000 mark fairly accurate, without having to pay attention to the rev counter.
As for fuel, Porsche recommends 98 although it will run on 95 so that makes it easy for me. Pete told me that the chip is made for 98. But V-Power and the like may have other advantages compared to 'normal' fuel - I seem to recall that V-Power isn't diluted by ethanol and as far as corrosion goes that is a good thing.

Whatever happened to "Ultra 94", and those cheesy commercials - "Take your baby home to meet your mama!" I still have that awful jingle tune in my head "94, Ultra nine-ty-four" (which means it was a good jingle for Sunoco)
