Default 87/89/92 Octane for stock 496 AVS

So this questions came up in a recent discussion. Just want to make sure I'm right on this. Bone stock 496s

The 496 engines on a stock 33 AVS Scarab are set up to run 87 Octane correct?

There will be no performance boost running 89 or 91+?

In fact (from what I read) running 89 or higher may actually result in less HP and performance (due to the sensors/ECU).

Of course I always run an ethanol eliminator product in every tank.

You might try asking this in the "Do it yourself, Boating on a budget" topic. You might get an answer there.

Just run 87 in them. That's what they are designed for.
