neither, but it won't do you any good either. The engine is designed to run on 92/93. Give it that and save your money or send it to me.

I recall seeing some discussions on other sites about too high an octane allowing unburnt fuel to eventually damage the emissions system.

I'd be more worried about the additives in there to raise the octane level...

If you add say 1/2 tank 110 to 1/2 tank 87 you get a balance somewhere inbetween. I read an article about the 110 at speedway's? They asked if octane boosters helped. The claims of 3-5 points are basicallly BS, unless you add a 1/2 tank full of boosters. That would cost a fortune. So they were able to raise 1 or so points with 87 by adding several bottles. The question was is the 110 worth it? enthusiasts would probably like it. So if you want say a 96 octane, add the 110 to your remining tank of 93. Some chemistry majors can probably help figure out dillition and concentration based on the size tanks we have to get the desired octane level.

Zoom !!!!!!!!!!

Chemistry majors need not apply...it's a pretty simple equation actually.

(gallons of Octane A)*(Octane A) + (gallons of Octane B)*(Octane B) = n*(Total Gallons)

So, spiking 91-octane pump gas with 100-octane example would be:

(10)(91)+(1)(100)=11*n--->n=91.8-octane

why do some people think that Maximas are drag cars...
Unless u drag your car and have crazy mods and can afford a new engine dont mess with high octane gas or NOS or all the other juices

91-octane is crap and out here in the desert 92-95-octane will make a difference, however pure 100+ octane is a waste.

What's up with the "NOS" comment? Best bang for your buck ESPECIALLY on a STOCK Maxima.

"NOS" is rice!! and its cheating. its a cheap lazy way to get speed. its for people that dont know how and are to lazy to mod their car to make it fast. its more impressive if someone actually puts time, money, and effort into modding their car.

WAY to many people watched fast and the furious and thought it would be "so cool dog" if their cars were like those.

You win the award for the 'Dumbass comment of the day'.


I have Nitrous and use it as I please. I dare you to look at my setup and say that there was no time and effort put into it. I think you've just had your azz handed to you by too many nitrous cars and you can't deal with it.


And to everyone else, I mix in 110 leaded race gas with regular 93 octane. The mixture works just fine so long as you don't use too much for too long. It has caused me NO problems at all.

I think the real issue is that your car is slow and you are jealous of eveyrone else. I have been modding cars and racing them for over eight years now. Was that dumbass movie out at that time?

I beat Foxbody Mustangs all day NA. Perhaps you would need Nitrous to beat a civic but that is your problem.

The only thing it will do is make everyone at the track laugh at you as you pump your 110 octane gas into your grocery getter.

well good for you i beat civics all the time. a max is a family car. deal with it. yes its fast. but its not a race car so dont act like it is. if you really need that much speed to make you feel like a man buy a car that is already that fast. but im sure you cant afford one

Do you make my car payments? No you don't. So don't try to tell me what I should and should not do with my car. I make MY car payments and I will do with my car as I damn well please. And if I want to make it a racecar or drive it off a cliff or park it outside your house and set it on fire that is none of your damn business.

the point is, with all the mods there are faster stock cars out there. i respect all the people that mod their cars to make them faster. i just think it is stupid to cheat and use NOS.

you act like Russ are you two related? How is NITROUS (not NOS) cheating. I guess turbos, and SC's are cheating too unless it comes like that stock. The retarded comment about faster cars stock is just plain ignorant.

i know its nitrous. i said NOS cause thats what someone called it in this thread. isnt that what you kids call it? no turbos are not cheating. you are just forcing more air in. the air that the car already uses. "nitrous" is adding a foriegn substance
so there arent faster cars stock?
