Switched back to 87 octane. Definitely runs better. An ur right stealth, it does pull harder (gigiddy).

The manual says use 87 guys... so thats really what you should be using... anything higher is a waste of money

O... well I said that cuz this is the 929 section which is fuel injection... so I assumed you had a 929... but yea then it would be carb cleaner lol
