I was running my VT on 98 ever since I got it registered, yesterday I fitted a 2.5" Lukey cat back and took it for a little drive to the servo where and because I was low on cash I put $20 of 91 in it.
Now all of a sudden it feels like its got less guts than when I bought it, only major mods so far are 1:9:1 rockers and the exhaust and I'm thinking that it should still have more go than what it did regardless of fuel used.
If its the fuel that makes it feel like that then the fuel is more important to the power output of the car than upgrading rockers and exhaust?
It definitely was more responsive after installing the rockers while still running 98, I doubt its the exhaust that would have made it sluggish but I guess it's possible.
Basically I just want to hear some opinions if people notice that much difference with switching fuel to lower or higher octane as the amount of power lost for me was going backwards after spending a ton of money on parts.
I know I can just let the fuel get low and top it up with 98 again to find out but that wont be for a few days.
