525sc octane ????

Has anyone run 89 or 90 octane fuel without any problems if your not into the throttles hard?

Re: 525sc octane ????

i believe 91 is the minimu for taht egine. Youd could probably run the hceap stuff if you backed your timing up.

just a guess though

Re: 525sc octane ????

Why chance it with lower octane?

Engine has 7.5 static compression, 35 degrees total advance (29 at 3000), no intercooler, and the boost goes + around 3000.

I guess if you want to run under 3000, lower octane might be for you. But the purpose of a go-fast is to go fast, right?

The price of the correct fuel is much cheaper than a rebuild.
