Fastchecker Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Ok i tried the search but it didnt give me the exact answer i was looking for so what im asking is ive got an 06 banshee all stock except, open lid, k&n, and t5's. I just got a adjustable timing plate and want to advance to +4. I need to know what the max compression is before i need to run a more octane gas. I believe ive read anything above 150, but wasnt sure. I currently run 93 octane. Thxs for any info, its greatly appreciated!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be safe with +4 timing running up to 150, but any more compression than that and your going to have to run 50/50 or straight race fuel.

I have the same exact set up except for t6 pipes and I run +7 and still use 93 octane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your motor is stock you shouldn't need to run any higher octane fuel. Only if you change your compression. Adjusting the timing will not effect your compression. Or are you asking for future modifications? SP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildcardracing Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 More octane than needed will hurt performance, it won't hurt your engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOWTIEKV23 Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 using airplane fuel may not be a good idea. some have additives for cooling ultralights. just my .02. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SP Ok thxs for the tips, the reason i was asking was i didnt advance the timing yet, i want to check what my compression is first. If it is above 150, i just wanted to see what i would need to do. Sorry for all the questions just trying to learn all i can before i do something stupid. Thxs again!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrideA250R Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 100LL is fine. I ran over 300 gallons of it through my 250R's in a couple of years time, and it works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
