Which octane?

What octane gas should I be using in my 90Gt. I have tried them all but do not feel a difference.

If u wanna bump the timing up a bit, you will need to run higher octane, if your timing is set at 10, then regular is fine.

higher octane is more or less like a fuel injection cleaner. The higher the octane you go, the hotter you run the engine. If you have a stock stang, dont waste money on higher octanes, your car will run just fine on 87

RE: Which octane?

The higher octane helps prevent detonation, so it won't help you unless you've bumped your timing up past 13-14....
