my 11.8:1 compression LT1 will teach you quickly about detonation and the affects of running a lower octane fuel. My car NEEDS 93 octane. on 89 it'll doesn't like to start- but you can drive it very gingerly. 87 octane and she'll spit and buck and make you pray for Jesus. Only made that mistake once on accident..I will NEVER grab a nozzle without looking closely again. Thank god for forged internal- or I am not so sure mine would've survived that tank of fuel...even after 3 bottles of octane booster(which did help alot).
