Sorry for the thread jack Skydog :drink:
Have you tried to run it yet? If it were me I would add some startron and run it some before I pumped the tanks.

hahah all good buddy!! :) :) Is your motor stock? Is it blowen? If she is stock and not packing her full will a power adder. Sartron and roll for sure. Just dont show the motor alot of load. Load is what will cause deto and that is not good.

Skydog:evilb: P.S. Or if you are blowen stay out of boost and you will be fine.

Sky dog is right. I would think you would be able to tell with just idling the engines (running them). If you had water they would have a hard time staying at idle (either rough idle or need higher rpms just to keep the motor running and not stalling out).

I've used the Valvtect (green bottle) additive for the last 4 seasons and have been trouble-free in all of my boats. I'm knocking on wood as I type this... :D

Not yet.. I'm thinking I'm gonna drain some out and look at it to start with. Then add some new 91 to what's left.. I'll have to look around for that Startron stuff, haven't seen it out here..

N/A 509. Comp is only 9 to 1, quench is tight, and I didn't hear any detonation on the dyno on 89 ... Just putting it in the Boat now. I just don't want to start out on the wrong foot with crappy fuel.. Jack my weekend all up :eek:

I would add one of these additives that everybody is talking about and top it off with 91
