Default question for everyone

well the one who can answer lol

ok say your running 32.5 degrees of timing and you use 93 unleaded gas then put in a tank of 89 gas, the truck runs both fuels without any knock, what gas would make you run better in the 1/4 mile??

With these motors, unless you are specifically tuned for 93, I think the difference would be negligible...

well thats what i'm running 32.5 timing and 89 oct. gas, they say the lower the gas oct. rating the better burn the gas does. we'll see tomorrow night after the track time, if it doen't rain lol.

last time out in 86 degree weather it went 12.79@104.92 with just tailgate and spare tire removed.
