From the factory it would be 87 octane. Even in the 05 Gt it's 87 octane. Some of the guys might suggest mechanical things to correct hestitation etc :biggrin: Don't forget it's thanksgiving so your answers may be answered tommorrow. Peace :deal:

Does the car need a tune-up? Sounds like you might have a bad miss. Try running some 91+ fuel and see if that takes it away.

well its seems the stang dosent like the cheaper gas. i put a bottle of octane boost , now no deiseling, but i think i still need a tune up. anyone know what the timing should be set at on my car? its an 87 lx 5.0 ho automatic, and its bone stock.

So i guess then its pointless for me to add my 2 cents. See if you never had posted, it would not have lit up as a new post and you would have saved me about a minute.

Thanks...lol...
