Re: [Chrysler300] Gasoline

Matt I haven't seen 93 Octane in N. Ca. for a long time.  I use 91 in my 
HP Mopars and have had no problem with performance. Sure I would like to 
have better like the old days.  I have built two 426 wedge using 
Chryslers specs. They say you can get good performance using lower 
compression than keeping the old 10 to 1 & 10.5 to one engines and 
having to retard the timing back to the point they don't knock.  One 426 
with a single 4 bbl. and a .484". lift cam was lowered to 9.5 to 1 and 
it runs great on 91 octane and 34 degrees total advance.  The other 
engine has 9.3 to 1 with 2x 4bbls also runs great with 36 degrees total 
advance.  I use the adjustable vacuum advance canisters. I think this 
really helps.
My son used to run his Charger at the drags and we tried the Octane 
booster and could hardly tell the difference and really adds to the cost 
of fuel.
