I really want to get a pcm or at least reprogram my stock one to give me added acceleration but I really can't afford to use premium. Is there anyway to increase my acceleration without having to use premium gas?

times 2 on what everyone said ... if you cant afford to spend the 2$ extra then i wouldnt be driving the car like you stole it ... if you grandma it then you wont have to worry about filling it up as much

all fuel now days is unleaded .. back in the day they used leaded fuel because it helped lube some of the internal parts ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasoline#Lead look at this ... but all fuel is unleaded now... you can buy lead additive for older cars... when i drive my 51 ford i have to use lead additive in the fuel because otherwise the valves smash on the seats and ruin had the chance to crush the valves and crack the block
Only $2.00!!!!! You sure lol. See it may only be two bucks but the fact that I have to fill up every two days makes that alot of money in per month.(and if you can't tell I hate to part with any money lol) So is there anyway to not have to use premium with a reprogramed pcm?

if you dont like to part with your money on the gas then dont buy a pcm ... that will also make you use more gas ... so if you dont like to spend the cash then 1 pcm costs money ... 2 then you spend more money on gas ... 3 then you are upset about buying gas ... ... or learn to deal with it because it horsepower costs money no if ands or buts about it lol
Ya I want to go fast and have fun but soooo much money needed and the fact that i have to drive from Cobourg to Whitby and back everyday(about a 80-100km trip one way)just means I get to fund sunoco even more lol. Oh well I'll live.

Ok so I will live with the price of premium since I really love going fast lol. Now what company would you recomend for a pcm (keep in mind I'm in Canada so looking for one that won't kill me on shipping). Or is there anyone near me who can tune my stock one for cheap with a powertuner?
