Has anyone else tried this? I live in l.a. and am in high school, if your from around here gas prices aren't that cheap. So if this really does provide for a significant increase in low end torque, let me know.


Thanks, Josh

 

I wouldnt do it... but thats me

 

I'm right there with you.

 

yeah, i wouldnt suggest either of YOU do it...but for some of these other guys...

 

if it wont hurt, i would like to do it... just want to be sure its safe...

 

it'll be fine. the factory specs are actually 16* +/-2*, so 18* is fine. any more than that and you hit the point of diminishing returns (you lose more than you gain)

 

are you sure it's not just the fact that your running premium, you have to do both??

 

yes, premium will not give you power. unless you do something else to take advantage of the detonation resistance of the higher octane. i.e., forced induction, higher compression, N2O, or advancing the timing. its pretty obvious which ones easier. i originally got the advice from Oscar Jackson, of Jackson Racing. it was an article he wrote in Velocity. so take it as you want.

 

but, is it a noticable difference

 

definitely.
