knock sensors on our vehicles are pretty advanced, only thing you will lose is performance. if you use it for daily driving lower octane fuel is not an issue. you probably wont even feel it if youre daily driving.

i dont mean to sound like an ***... but if youre driving locally/highways 0-60 and not at a track. its not noticeable! weather change can play a move severe part in 0-60 times along with road conditions weight etc etc, cold tires, you guys get my point. or am i the only one who stands by my opinions?

Your cool... but Im referring to acceleration 0-60 not a 60ft launch.

I ran 89 on accident once. The car didn't run as well as it does with 91.
