you run 87 in your truck? if so the timing is already low for a 100 shot anyway, put some TR6s in and 93 octane and spray the bitch, youll be fine!

this is taken into concideration no tune has been done to the truck, 100% stock!!

if you do not plan to mess with the tuning stick with a 100 shot. run 93 octane to be extra safe. if you have the good tools to tune and watch the plugs closely, ive heard of people putting 300 shots through a stock bottom end. the tune must be SPOT ON at that point.

it does hit hard on the 150
