although i still have my stock timing, i put 93 octane. It runs smoother and I get better MPG. I'll bump up my timing as soon as i get a timing light

come on tim quit whoring...we are suppose to be unclogging the bunghole here with repeats.


tealmonster search for octane...and our 5.0 section reader freindly stickies...by the way welcome to the site....anything above 89 is fine...if stock run 87...just beware of carbon build up= detonation.

91 is the best I can manage, Cali has the worst gas.
