I was actually thinking of converting to propane that way if I brake down I can hookup the portable barbecue and cook a feast on the side of the road lolKerosene, thinking about converting to moonshine, cleaner, cheaper and if the car breaks down you can still get drunk....
what H/C/I/, did you install?When I was stock, 87. Although over the years I found I needed to bump to 89 to prevent detonation even with stock 10 degrees of timing.
Since I've gone H/C/I, I've just changed over to 93 octane. I don't drive the car often enough to worry aout saving a few bucks. Until i get a tune and a sense of how she runs once optiized, not worth trying to run lower.
All my DD"s I run the lowest octane I can. Lower octane burns more completely and faster, but it's just that pesky detonation that makes this aspect such.
I have stock heads and cam just an explorer intake with a SVT chip, 76 mm mass air , 70mm Tb, Black Magic Xtreme electric fan, full length Mac 1 5/8 longtube headers, Mac h Pipe with cats and super 44 flowmaster mufflers, with 3 inch flowmaster tails. with 4.10 gears, should I have it tuned for 87 octane you think? even though shes currently tuned to run on 94 octane and 91 octane and all I have to do is turn the SVT chip switch and select it for either tune.Always run the lowest octane your car is tuned for. If you have a stock 5.0 you're fine with 87 will be fine and 94 won't do anything to help at all. Higher octane only means it will burn slower and is harder to ignite, thus it is better for higher compression or boosted engines as it will help prevent detonation. Every mustang with a modified engine will have different requirements based on the setup and the tune.

It all depends on what it is you are trying to accomplish here. I can only guess that your "problem statement" is the cost of the higher octane fuel but really in the end it's only a few bucks more a tank vs. likely hundreds for a tune. If you get an 87 tune you could safely run that gas but it is very likely you will have less performance as you'll need to pull timing to help ensure you don't have detonation problems if you're already tuned for 94.I have stock heads and cam just an explorer intake with a SVT chip, 76 mm mass air , 70mm Tb, Black Magic Xtreme electric fan, full length Mac 1 5/8 longtube headers, Mac h Pipe with cats and super 44 flowmaster mufflers, with 3 inch flowmaster tails. with 4.10 gears, should I have it tuned for 87 octane you think? even though shes currently tuned to run on 94 octane and 91 octane and all I have to do is turn the SVT chip switch and select it for either tune.

Wonder what kinda power I would get with TSF 170 heads, my explorer intake with stock cam would make?TFS170's, ported Cobra intake, FTI custom cam
With the old twisted wedge 170s, I'm used to seeing around 300 to the tire. The GT40 intake is huffing pretty hard at or beyond that, which is due to not only CFM flow, but the long runner length.Wonder what kinda power I would get with TSF 170 heads, my explorer intake with stock cam would make?
Weird.I run 92/93 octane and it's ALWAYS E10 gasoline. Had some very bad experiences with the non oxy garbage and refuse to run it in anything, even my small engines.
Never have any fuel related problems.
