A gas station near my house offers 100 octane pump gas. Will anything bad happen to my car if I put some of thatinto my stock 1998 v6 mustang (besides my wallet going dry because of $7.00 per gallon)?
How? The car won't run any richer with higher octane fuel. All octane is is a gasoline's resistence to spark knock. Fouled plugs are from running the car rich, and the a/f ratio won't chage with high octane fuel.
you could advance the timing, but really, 93 is the most I'd use on a stock car, unless I was just dripping with cash, in which case, my car would be modded to the point where 100octane was necessary.
Yes it will hurt your engine. You can't run it straight
sure you can. it's no different than any other gas except it has a higher amount of Heptane in it to increase the combustion temp.
if the car knocks at 87 octane rating then 100 would gain a couple of ponies. not likely that a stock singleport will knoch with 87 though. it would be a waste of money to put it in a stock singleport.
100 shot of nitrous or 11 psi procharger kit running the stock injectors with stock MAF and FMU then it will help
