    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I think the original poster mentioned advanced engine timing, so high octane may be required in this special case.

But yeah, most stock or mildy modified GS models are happiest with plain old 87 octane. It's cheaper, too!
 
I always thought that aluminum engines had to run on higher octane gas.

Ya know what? :-s
I just went back and re-read the orignal post. Not only did he mention advanced timing, he's got cams in there, too. :shock:
In his case, premium might be the correct fuel. :oops:

Maybe only because the aluminum engines you knew were higher performance? Or maybe because their owners only 'wanted the best for my baby'?

Too many people simply see that high performance vehicles require premium fuel and assume that it's the fuel that give the extra power. Not so. It's the slower-to-burn and harder-to-light fuel that allows them to use the higher compression that gives the power.
