Can anyone who can only locally find 91 octane gasoline tell me what the most performance they've gotten out of their car is?

Things I'd like to take into account include:
- Static compression ratio (8:1? higher?)
- Max Boost pressure (without knock counts) and from what turbo, at what RPM and tuned in what gear
- Cam selection (stock, NA, custom?)
- Average ambient temperature in your area
- Water thermostat opening temperature
- Oil thermostat opening temperature
- Exhaust setup
- MAF? AFM? What software (stock or a chip?)?
- Ignition timing (how much retard?) What plugs?
- Injector size?
- Anything else you think relevant

Thanks!

Glad we don't have that pisswater here in the midwest. 93 (or even sunoco 94) all the way!

18psi is the tops for me, Russel warned me when he made my chips.

I only ran 16 when I was using 91 up in the high desert area (29 Palms/Yucca Valley)

Same here, 16 psi was my safety margin for 91 oct. with a Vitesse chip and shimmed WG. When I mixed in xylene I could pull 19 even in hot weather.

I don't have a lot of experience having my 951 modded when I lived in cali, but my gti ran 23 psi on 91 lol.
I had stock turbo and ran 12 psi though with my 951, hardly ground breaking.

any idea what the ignition specs are in those chips?

darwin, what turbo did you use, what chip, etc?

Sorry can't help you on ignition specs, JV would know though. Mine were mapped for a K26-8 w/ 3.0bar FPR.

I was running a K26/8 with MaxHP chips. Can't tell you exact specs on ignition or anything.
