Use premium gas since it was intended to be used with premium gas. The difference between a full tank of gas with premium vs regular is like $.30~ at most. Don't be a cheap ass.

You dumb fuck. Nissan recommends using 87 in the KA24DE block. If you can provide proof of something different, I will eat my words. Before, when I was on the stock ecu, the car ran like crap on anything other than 87. Now with the ECU, I have to run premium.

Just to humilate you further, I want to remind you all than The Altima uses the same KA24DE block as the 240sx. So yes, my POS Altima with JWT cams and ECU with a 7000rpm redline is shit, and you all know more about effective powerbands and shift points than JWT.

And because I thive on making others look like the pieces of shit they are, I went ahead and downloaded Cartest 4.5 (a free download here http://www.cartestsoftware.com/cartest4.5/index.html)

I ran 3 different types of 240sx's.
Default, Shift at Redline, and Shift at power peak. Guess which one had the best accleration?

Time to 100ft
Redline 240sx (shifting at 6500rpm) 3.3
Default 240sx (shifting at optimum shift points) 3.3
Pre-Redline 240sx (shifting at 5500rpm) 3.4

Time to 500ft
Redline 240sx (shifting at 6500rpm) 8.9
Default 240sx (shifting at optimum shift points) 8.9
Pre-Redline 240sx (shifting at 5500rpm) 9.1

1/4mile time
Redline 240sx (shifting at 6500rpm) 16.4 @ 85.4mph <----WINNER
Default 240sx (shifting at optimum shift points) 16.4 @ 84.9mph
Pre-Redline 240sx (shifting at 5500rpm) 16.8 @ 84.2mph

You're a piece of shit, and your wrong.
