Default Saleen 3.2 pulley & 91 octane

Is anyone running a 3.2 pulley on 91 octane? If so anything I should watch for? What kind of power are you making? Please keep in mind my exhaust is stock

List of new stuff:
60lbs injectors
Pulley
Belt
Large inter-cooler resevior (trunk mount)
New air inlet tube (currently using stock)
New tune

I would like to see 465+rwhp.

I don't know who's tune you're running, but the JDM and VMP tunes retain the stock knock sensor sensitivity.
The only thing you'd have to worry about is detonation/knock but the comouter responds so fast in these cars you'd likely never hear it. If you put your car on the dyno you should be able to see the spark retardation occur if you have any knock, but your car should be able to easily handle up to 16 degrees of timing on that octane. However, you never know what's actually coming out of that nozzle regardless of what it says on the pump.

It would be dyno tunned and probably if things work out a little street tunning as also. Knock senors would/are on.

With a good tune, you should have no problem. As stated, I would keep timing around 16-17. I have seen some JDM tunes where they turn off the knock sensors! 465 rwhp is within reach for you.

+1 to being aware of the gas thats going into your car regardless of what the pump says.

Chevron is the best quality gas sold on the market... Obviously unless you're running a higher octane than 91

My dad is in the gas industry...

Thanks for the info. HP-Performance are the guys that tune my car, every tune I have gotten has been right on.
