Is your octane higher than 91??lasmith2112 said:No pingage here at any speed/rpm. I always use a quality brand super unleaded gasoline and and have never had that problem.
Yeah, 93 octane available here. Can you get an octane booster in CA? That may help.countryblue said:Is your octane higher than 91??

bigbay00 said:Beware of Octane boosts, most of the time they advertise they will raise the octane 7 pts or so, but they measure the pts in tenths. So it will raise 91 octane to 91.7, not too much of a boost. Your best bet is to find a reliable gas station. You would be suprised how many gas stations get caught selling low octane gas for high octane prices. Sunoco is one of the best and most reliable i have ever been to. Also they have racing fuel that is 100 octane and street legal in most places. Ive never used it but they have it in some locations.
