It's not even the CR but the timing curve.

Unless you have a chip or an SVT the 87 works the best.

Sometimes as engines get older and get nasty build up they require you to increase the octane but you are not gaining any more power just stopping detonation. Actually you are "technically" losing power from shorter burn times albeit a miniscule amount.


2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.
