Knowledge is power, and inexperience will have you pissing away your money on all sorts of nonsense for your mighty Acura.Visit VP Racing Fuels website and read up on what I use in my stock Honda Civic when we go to the track. Use "motorsport 109" in your Acura as it is an oxygenated fuel. You can now advance your timing by about 5-9 degrees to take full advantage of this rapid burning fuel. It has a 109 rating for octane so you won't blow holes through your pistons.This is by far the cheapest way to get a bit more from your Acura for less than $150. Your climb rate will increase as well, or should I say get ready to shift sooner as the trip to 6500 rpms will take less time.I'm sure many people will suggest this as well due to the obvious gains....then again maybe not. Funny how that is, anyways.When you get a chance read up on fuels that have a few extra Oxy atoms attached and worry less about Octane. Any fool can bolt this and that onto a car but few people out there know the facts about building proper reliable power from their engines. Read like I did when I was younger as few things regarding power increases from engines has changed in 50 years other than perhaps the brands we choose to race with.Good luck against the truck and have a fire extinguisher handy in case.
