Any benefits to adding 100 octane gas to stage 2+ aggressive? (full tank of ~95 octane)
From what I saw I'd hold off on running that map on a road course and just stick with a known good map for extreme use. I'd want to do some serious tuning on the race map before hammering it for 30 minutes at a time, even with 100 octane. If it turns out your car has zero issues with it, great...but I'd want to be sure first. The nice thing about aggressive timing is that it keeps the EGTs down, but you don't want to be knocking all the time under those conditions.
