89 oct on 500efi 2001 model, 178 hrs runs great.

87-89 in my EFI, it does not like anything higher.

89 in 1999 HP500s (150 hours), no problems.

the higher the octane #....the less btu it has....in short, run 87 in that engine....

racers...yeah we also pay near 4 bucks per gal to go slower!

hey JJ, maybe that is why you are going 7mph slower!!! LOL!

maybe its all the additional weight of the new paint

what kind of rpms are you spinning if its the same and your using the same props maybe its your speedo, and if your using a gps now and werent then, then maybe you havent lost the 7 mph and in that case go back to your old speedo to find it.

it sounds as if you change quite a few things and its just a matter of dialing back. did you change props gears etc.?
