If your car is detonatingat WOTthen go from 87 octane to 93, but as long as it runs fine at WOT you should be ok.

Yeah thats kinda dangerous for somebody who wouldn't know better. Unsuspecting driver shifting at 6800rpm and blowing the motor just because the gauge is wrong.

WAIT! Does that mean his speedometer and tach reading would be off? Because the Cobra's go higher? And I doubt whoever installed them re-caled them to match.
