Hey. I'm taking delivery of my Sti next week sometime....all these threads about det. are making me nervous all of a sudden. I've read that Vishnu may be working on a remap, and I'm sure (errr...hoping) that SOA is looking into it as well. Here's my question. Pending a permanent fix to the det. issues can I avoid any potential engine damage from det. by running 96? I'm in CT and have access to 94, was wondering if getting a 55gall. barrell of 100 octane delivered would make sense to avoid damage to the engine itself. Just made some calls, 100 oct. is available from a gas station for $6/gallon! Yikes! But I can get a 55gall. barrell of the stuff for $280 delivered....not a huge difference but if I will be using it consistently to avoid damage it seems to make sense. Anyone else doing this or contemplating? Can someone tell me if my logic makes sense? As always I appreciate any insight. FWIW I've read every post I can find about ping/det/octane/altitude and everything else.
