for example when i was running just 92 oct in my b16 there was always a little bog if you will when i finally switched it to the mix giving me 94 the bog went away and i stopped running lean.
i talk to him and find out the whole details of what he has all done but i am pretty sure its stock internals and a turbo kit with some fuel managment. i will get an explaination for you
just read this...it's not the octane level that makes you run lean or rich. so when you say that it was running lean before and then you switched to a higher octane, it was not the reason for the change. granted your engine may have had a little knock, but i would scratch that up to not enough/improper tuning as opposed to your engine just plain needing the higher octane. the whole reason that people have been talking to westcoast about the size of his injectors has more to do with running rich or lean.
