fastfox91 · 07-26-2005, 01:52 PM

i am plannig a trip to the strip and wanted to know if running cam2 in my stang would help or possibly hurt the motor? ive had a few people tell me to be careful because i could burn up valves or pistons. also would running cam2 mess with th 02 sensors?? any help or advice would be apreciated.

Don't waste you money. it's not needed and you'd only run slower amd mess up your O2 sensors.

lx mike is right - you'd only want to run higher octane if the car was tuned for it. There is no benefit otherwise. Higher octane is just harder/slower to burn so it allows you to run more timing and leaner mixtures.
