- 2010 Vector LTX GT
Good day fellow sledders,
I just picked up a 2010 Vector LTX GT at 4k miles and I see that it runs best on 87 octane. Given ethanol is generally not the best for our engines and 91 reduces performance, has anyone modified their fuel map/timing to be optimized for 91 ethanol free? I can find this fuel at just about all stations I visit as I am on the border of Wisconsin and the UP so it may make sense to make this change. I am surprised I was unable to find any posts on this. Maybe I just suck. Thoughts?

on my old rx, i would run during the season on 87 and would finish the season off with the last couple of tanks running 91 with seafoam in them to flush the system for storage.
