RE: WHAT TYPE OF GAS WE RUNNING?!!
Running a lower octane does have benefits. There is more energy density in lower octane fuel. High octane fuels do not have as much energy, and do not burn as easily. Diesel has much more energy per unit volume than gasoline. A well designed diesel engine should be able to provide more power than an equivelent displacement gas engine. The technology is nearly here to do that. So what do you think, of having a 5 liter turbo-diesel Daytona Charger with 400 hp and 800 ft/lb of torque? (oh and it would get good mileage too....)
Anyone who has been to the track lately has seen Ford F-350's with turbo diesels that turn high 10's in the 1/4 mile, with a mostly stock engine. [8D]

RE: WHAT TYPE OF GAS WE RUNNING?!!
diesels are the next big thing. Hot rod had an article on a bull dog truck in the 10's. There was a bad azz one on pinks as well. Here is a vid of a 10 second 3/4 ton dodge ext cab.

Here is a 11 second truck. I call that a redneck at the drag strip.

It happens both ways but easier to hear when in D and the car is going about 40mph on a steady pedal. Since the cooler weather and consistantly running 89 I dont hear it that much. But the car feels better when I run 93. The pedal is stiff and th car is really responsive.
I need to get the SC programmer and tweak the octane rating in HAL.
