Can I have some feed back on what fuel and mods you guys are running.

The best fuel I can easily find locally (here in Northern Ireland) is Topaz (formally Shell) 97 octane Super Unleaded.

I am currently running with a 93CAI predator tune, Bwoody CAI and Magnaflow exhaust, on a 2007 model year.

I Believe that stock these Jeeps need 98 octane (according to the export handbook I recently bought on Ebay). I never got one with the Jeep, even though I bought it new.

The UK octane rating measure is different to the USA measure, I think you need to add about 5 or 6 points to there number to get our equivelant.

With the 93 octaine Diablo tune, I probably need 98 or 99 octane. I have tried the 91 CAI tune and the stock tune. To be honest I don't see a lot of difference in any of them. I think even stock the performance is blunted with the low quality fuel we now have. Let me know what you guys think.

I run Shell optimax 99 with a custom Diablo Tune from DCX. I put regular 95 in the other day and DID notice the difference.
