The V6 runs HIGHER compression than the LS3 and L99 V8s. That's a very easy thing look up!


Wrong, the ECU pulls timing when it sees (hears) knock. You get less knock with higher octane gas.


This is the only correct statement in the whole post and it assumes the knock sensors are working correctly.


What are you basing this on?
The master of the 6 cyl posts this , then the very next page a guy says his dealers say run 87 anything more is just a waste. . charts proving the difference and a guy who knows the V6 better than the guy who built it . Man Some people just are Thanks for the posts Gretchen,
