is the effect immediate? And after you run out of that and replace it with "regular", er 93 octane (hehe!), does the performance decrease again, dramatically? Are there any...side effects?

I think the performance will definitely not going to be the same after I switched back to 94. 93 was just that one time thingy...
Yeah...after we drove about few miles...I have to find out how many miles exactly. We took it pretty easy on the country roads on the way back(right after the gas station), didn't really punch it until this backroad before the highway. The country road area was more or less a residential area, so....
But still, I'd call that pretty "immediate". It was amazing....my friend was just in my car this past Saturday and he knew how my car drove, we were both very surprised tonight after we tried to open it up a bit on the highway.
Now I can understand how APR's chip for the 1.8T was able to make that kinda difference after switching from 93 octane to 100.

No way!!! I used to get my Maxima washed there all the time. You went to RIT right? I forget. Did you know of that tuning shoop by Henrietta? I forget the name but they did some stuff to my car. It was a pretty cool shop.

Yeah Autocrafting. I wouldn't go as far as calling them tuning shop, but they are pretty good at doing accessories installation. I got my alarm done there and few other this and that. Know the guys there, cool crowd...
And yeah..if you want to get some parts...they can get them at pretty decent price.

Yeah, autocrafting. Those guys were pretty cool. They custom made sidemarkers for my Maxima, turned out better than I thought. My bad in calling them a tuning shop. **** shop better?
Nah..most of the guys there still have some good taste. Plus, I might need their help this something...gotta ask them soon before these words on SS get back to them.

Nah, you don't get the shaft! You guys have a beautiful state, beautiful weather, beautiful...OK, I will stop. Plus, you have beautiful earthquakes to keep the dust off your buildings!
