With stock timing i have to run 93 octane to get no detonation and I can take it up to 13 degrees with 93 and still not get any but is this normal?? I wouldn't think I would need 93 with just the mods listed in my sig. with stock timing. Any ideas??

if you bump the timing you definetly need 93 octane...i had to run 93 in my car when it was completely stock minus exhaust and gears.
