The more we talk about it, the more it feels like the aux pump is just an inevitability. |

If you can run e40-50 you can cut your gas bill in half and make 50-75rwhp more.

You can add the jms booster or even the aux pump, but your high side is what will most likely limit your ethanol content at a certain point. The jms will get you to that point and high side will be maxed, that was my experience anyway.

What about VP 100, does it contain MMTs? The manual states fuel containing such can damage emissions control systems and spark plugs.
I can get 5 gallon jugs of this stuff and there are some stations who have it but who knows how long that stuff sits in their tanks.. |

For the record, anyone who lives in the east bay, there is a Mobil station in Brentwood that sells Sunoco SS100 unleaded (equal to their 260GT) 100 octane race fuel out of their pump, but at $9.99 you better come loaded with money. Additionally, they sell the fuel by the tank as well if you don't want to buy any at the pump.
I just filled up on their stuff yesterday.

I recall a conversation I had with TED @ JRE... and his warning was similar to your experience in that these cars dont do well with 91 and will see a ton of KR. He suggests running no less than E30 blend, so like others have said if you were trying to stay stock, id add an octane booster to each tank... if you are open to mods, then id look at Ted's 125 flex fuel package, or at bare minimum... doing a flex fuel kit, CAI for a nice bump and a happier car.

Thats basically what I have, and I can tell you there is not only a night and day difference when you run E50 for the first time... but damn, these cars should have at least come with the flex fuel parts installed... and feel so much stronger with another 100rwhp. Should have come this way from the factory

The problem is I absolutely refuse longtubes with an iron conviction. All they have ever done for me is cause problems on V8 Chevys due to where the plugs are located in respect to the exhaust ports and from what I can see nothing has changed from my time dealing with them to now. That price tag is way overpriced for what it is anyways. I may wind up just doing a flex fuel sensor and a JMS, or an aux fuel pump. These cars definitely should have came with flex fuel from the factory, considering GM has been capable of flex fuel on various other models for years and years now.
