not bad for the car, but bad for the pocket!06BLR85 said:I should be getting my 06 GT sometime between Nov and Jan. So any information will be much appreciated.
I know the car takes 87 but do any of you put 91 in there and actually feel the diffrence. Or is it bad for the car to put higher then recomended.
Thanks.
06GT4me said:unless you are putting a custom tune on your GT - I wouldn't recommended higher than 87. Never saw if the guy responded, but on another forum a guy was putting 93 (i think.. east coast) in his and the best mileage he could get was like 12-14 mpg. He was stock so I told him to try 87 and let us know if that fixed the bad mpg. I got 24-26 on a round trip from CA to AZ last weekend.
I have to put 91 in my Nissan Maxima. Their VQ engine just loves that 91, but it's tuned for it, like your benz. Stang is tuned for 87 so put in 87.
This thing has a sensitive throttle body (fly by wire system) - so I recommend keeping it as happy as you can. I jumped on mine real good one time and spaz'd the computer... it lit up the "wrench" dash light and through it into "limp home" mode. Had to pull over, shut her down, and turn it back over... was fine after that.
And going from my Maxima... which was no slow poke, anyone needing more power than this thing has stock.... well somethings wrong with that person. Two words... Scary fast.

06BLR85 said:On a nother note, is the timing for these things done by computer or can you still just play with the distributor and a timeing light.

The timing is controlled by computer. Only way to adjust timing is with a tuner. You do not have a distributor in the V-8 it is a straight shot plug on coil.
Factory specification is 87 octane. Limited learn capabilities are inherint in the alogrithm tables of the EEC-V; however, you can encounter a air/fuel ratio issue if the TDC/BDC timing points are not adjusted for firing accordingly. Nothing worse than early or late detonation.

Do you have any pics of those Coddington's you have on your Stang?
I would love to see them.
