on a serious note cuz i seriously dont know, what happens with you put 110 in a basically stock car? bad im going to guess

[kammi10]

nothing.. if anything it makes less power b/c of the high octane it wont burn as good

You gotta remember up until October I've never had to worry about octane or anything mechanical for that matter. What my dad and I have done so far is the most mechanical work I've ever done before. Cut me some slack!

At least your not as bad as my RA - his nickname is "Diesel" cause he filled his Ranger up with diesel once...

[PWND3r]

B, it's a stock LT1 shortblock right? I wouldn't worry about octane at this point. Keep the 87 in it, and when you go fill her up at the station toss some 93 in the tank then. It won't make a difference on that motor.

[meissen]

Would it make any difference in the tune?

[MP81]

Yes.

[PWND3r]

Would it make any difference in the tune?

Yes because of the fuel maps, and the spark thats Steve's going to do to it. Like I said, just run the 87 and then put the 93 in it when you're heading up to Steve.

[Transamsfast]

you can run 87 in a lt1... it has aluminum heads and not that high of compression

Once I fire the car up for the first time, I only plan to drive it to get a front end alignment and then straight over to Steve's. Not wasting any time on getting it tuned and running properly.

I think I'll drain out the 87 octane anyway since it's been sitting in the tank since September.

[kammi10]

don't worry about draining it b just fill it up with 93 and you'll be just fine
