Hello everyone.
I came today with something odd. I own a 2003 v6 mustang (manual) and as i work on it something that shows constantly is the idea of tuning the car too a higher compression ratio to use high octane gas. This would give the car a little bit more of punch; however, there is always a down side. I don't know what this may do to the fuel economy of the car. But i just hear that this may damage the piston rings because of the higher pressure. My car has 200k miles on it so it may actually be something big. I just wanted to confirm and hear the experience of folks that may have done the tune on this cars before.
Thank you for reading this post.
