What Octane do you use????

**blackSS01** · 02-03-2010, 08:35 PM

Two gear race and I hit 3rd hard enough to hit the low trac light

No driver mod needed = 2nd/3rd gear! That truck was a monster for a stock truck

Obviously the more gears I went through, the worse I would have pulled but he had taken many a vehicle while he owned it

Now he has a dynoed 640hp 1XXX tq duramax and a 6XXhp 7XXtq 69 Camaro

According to a Road and Track mag article fuel milage and octane rating have nothing to do with each other. If your vehicle is suppose to take 91 octane fuel and you put a lower grade of fuel it wont affect fuel mileage only horsepower.

lowest i can run is 91 with the tune i have...

**CJREX** · 02-04-2010, 08:48 AM

But would it be OK to run 87 octane if you installed...

Weapon X Sparkplugs?!?!?!

Hey man, those were banned by the government because of how big an advantage they gave, can't talk about them on this forum.

no. If a car isn't tuned for premium you won't gain anything. But if it's tuned for premium and has to pull out timing for the lower octane gas you will lose mileage.

I don't know that I would call him a fucktard.
Just someone that isn't up on the advantages of aluminum motors.

I run 11:1.
91 octane.
31 degrees of timing. (altitude allows for a few extra)

This is how it works.
Only use what you need too. If your car runs fine and DOES NOT ping on 85 octane...use that. If it does, go to mid-grade.

**wheeliE-maxx** · 02-04-2010, 11:54 AM

But if the knock sensors detect pinging they add knock retard and you shouldn't be able to notice pinging. So you'll cut power and mileage

**Ramairgod84** · 02-04-2010, 02:51 PM

That's cuz we get gas from Cali.

OTOH, there are stations that sell 100 octane no lead. It ain't cheap though. At Love's over by Firebird they also sell 108 leaded. Both cost $7/gal.

**KahanaReef** · 02-04-2010, 03:54 PM

Yep, 91 is what we get here. That's what I use.

Thats not stock compression!!!, Thats why you have to use 91 on a 11:1

Damn Spaz and IROC....those posts cracked me up
