Hey guys,
Here's the deal. Timing is set to 14 degrees btc. For a while I ran 87 octane and had lotsa fun with the car. Then I've been using 93 octane cuz 14 degrees should take advantage of the extra octane right? Well, it runs more sluggish with the 93... what gives? seriously, it feels faster and lots more fun to drive with 87... any ideas? Motor is totally stock, btw.
