It is very important to follow this directive.

And if you aren't running at least 91oct (US (RON/MON)/2), you may have to reduce the user torque settings from the default values. This does not mean to run anything less than premium grade fuel. But only applies if your premium grade fuel is less-than-ideal.

Shiv,
since you products users are all over the different forums, I think you should either email them all directly if you have their emails in a database or make an important post at any forum you can think of that your users may frequent specifiying the required octane levels.

I'm sure there are plenty of users out there like the OP that did not know using 91 octane w/ higher torque settings is not a good idea.

Just a suggestion to help out both you and your clientèle.











I hope that made sense......Jim Beam is good

Not a bad idea, even if I think Shiv specified the required octane levels, but the OP didn't realise the difference between US and EU octane.

So I'd make a correction request which does not only apply to Vishnu, but all the other performance upgrade vendors as well - if U guys make a gadget with a specific octane fuel as a prerequisite, realise your customer may live outside of the US and specify the octane in both US and EU spec.

p.s. i plugged in the Creader when i got home and it doesnt seem to display any codes
Road course or drag strip? I had some persistent issues with V2.0 that are now completely resolved with V2.02. The issues never showed up on the street or the my Beltronics FX2 timed drag strip simulations. On the track, it dinged up a storm.

Vishnu staff literally helped me resolve it while on track. Around turn 8, my phone rings and I had to have Dustin wait on hold while I finished my lap, lol.
