Sam out of curiousity, what's the highest CR you'd run on that engine with 93 octane pump gas? (12.5:1 or 13.5:1?)

Maintenance is another large factor I am keeping in mind. I'm not looking at spending the "savings" I get from FI just for upkeep.

Thanks Sam!

up keep? Change your oil on time had have the supercharger oil checked and change as requested, My dealer checks and changes mine for $0, Cause I line it up with my oil changes, My SC says change the oil every 7500, I Change my oil every 2500-2800 miles, So every second oil change I change everything, A little early but early is better than later.

^^ Thanks!

I run Amsoil Synthetic. By far the best thing I could have put in my car (from experience) + You don't need to change your oil every 2,800-3000.
