You serious? Iv never heard a story like that about a Red Top until now. Weird.

Are you talking about in an N/A, a turbo, or just in general?

If you dont find a buyer, and your price drops, I may be interested. Sounds like a good deal, but 2k is out of my price range hah.

Its not even that, premium is cleaner, leaves behind fewer deposits. Better overall fuel.. If you have an engine and t61 like that, why are you using it as a DD? lol, do what the guy said and find yourself a beater honda. The hx's got like 40 mpg.

Is your LS1 boosted? No, I didnt think so... lol Knock sensors are a lot more important on a boosted car where you have a/f ratios, and detonation to worry about, so knock comes into play a loooot more.

+1 to suprahooked. I drove a Dodge Daytona w/ a bad throwout bearing. It make grinding noises in neutral, and every time I went to shift it, I'd let off the clutch, and once it engaged, it would make 2 *clunk* sounds. The upside, is that they're arnt too bad to do. I think a shop quoted...

I wouldnt have paid him after losing 40 hp :P

Haha, I love it.

87 on an N/a like mine is perfectly fine, but If I had a turbo'd car (and I will soon) I wont run anything but premium. It just makes me feel better lol

Also, make sure everything is tight, corrosion free, etc. And that everything is properly grounded (corroison free, etc)

ah.. I just thought thier was less pre ignition, because it burned more completely and left behind less, because it was more refined and combustable? lol

Got it backwards? .. I thought premium ignited easier? lol

Yea. For the safety of his engine, he should probably just run premium... lol If you can afford the big turbo, then you might as well afford the premium :)

depends on how many times you screw up :D

Of course you're going to get better fuel economy, premium has been refined more, so it combusts more readily. What you arnt keeping in mind, is that only running 87 octane increases detonation alot. If you're running any kind of decent boost, tis not good So when you go get on it REAL...

iv noticed that my voltmeter dips ever so slightly when i have my blinkers on, and the only time i notice my lights dim is when i hit the window switch. get an optima ;)

I always do that, and yes, it works wonders. Anyone got the technical reason for why that works?

He has an auto.. :)

When you undo the belt to get to it, spin the pully on the alternator, and if it sounds weird, thats probably your problem. Also make sure the wires are tight, and not corroded on the back. Oh, and just as a side story. A dude I knew, his car would backfire, and ran horrible, like it had a...

Might not have been the belt squealing, might have been a bad bearing in the alternator. Working at a parts stores, people brang thier alternators in ALL the time, and most of the time they had BAD bearings, and also didnt work. Coincidence? :P Just take it off and run it into a parts...
