SouthernBanshee Posted June 18, 2004 Report Posted June 18, 2004 Ok... here is my question... ive recently raised the compression from 130 to 165 psi and modified the stock stator plate to +4 at the same time. will i need to go down to +2 to be safe with that compression or is it just fine? i use 97 pump gas and motul 800 40:1... thanx Quote
randelator Posted June 18, 2004 Report Posted June 18, 2004 nop keep +4 it will thank you !! but use engine ice to help cool down !! Quote
Phase Posted June 18, 2004 Report Posted June 18, 2004 No, keep the timing at +4 degrees. You should probably be fine with 97 octane fuel. However, I think you are starting to push on the edge of needing higher octane fuel. I run 170 compression, timing +4 and I run 98 octane fuel. It runs fine, but I avoid using old fuel. Quote

Screamin_Banshee Posted June 20, 2004 Report Posted June 20, 2004 Just watch the plugs, they will ALWAYS tell you if your motor needs more/less fuel, or if you are having detonation problems, etc etc. Other than that I think you will be ok on 97 octane, if need be try a race/pump fuel mix. Quote
