Default backfire smoke 'n stuff

will mixing 100oct help with the backfires? I also have black smoke coming from my exhaust, most likely from being too rich. I also have a minor oil leak that was never fixed. I need to have it running less ***-like. pretty much at the same state when I got her back.. fk my life. Will be upgrading my unichip to Fcon, as soon as i have some funds.

Backfires are from running rich ... 100oct probably won't help at all if there's that much unburnt fuel in the exhaust to cause backfires. Fix the leak and get it tuned

the xtra octane would help reduce ping or knock but it won't stop a backfire. If anything it will make them worse.

Dude, I gave you your answer .. GET A TUNE! Just because you didn't like it, doesn't mean it's wrong.

I totally agree with you. I badly need a tune, but that's 3G's yo.
I'll wait for my tax refund.

Why not get the unichip retuned? That's no where near 3K.
