I run more compression in my engines and fine on pump gas. Even the current engine which maths out at 11.3 to 1 compression is just fine on pump gas. We even run 87 octane in it w/o any detonation anyplace. Didn't do that on purpose, had my son working here for a while and he was filling the gas cans with 87 octane when we sent him on parts runs.
I noticed one really hot/humid summer day the engine "ran-on" after shut down when fully heat soaked. Did a little checking, timing was spot on, just thought I got some bad gas. It happened again so I questioned my son, and said he'd been filling up the truck and gas cans with 87 octane....yikes!.......Cliff

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
