What octane are you running in you Dale? The manual says 93 or higher I believe. Anybody notice a difference with higher?

i usally run half and half 93 and 114 usally anything over 105 to 108 will actually hurt your preformance if you do not have it modified

Did you guys not see the post a few days ago from the engineer who works for Cannondale? He pointed out that the C'dales run fine even on 92 octane and if you try to go to higher octanes like race fuels, you can actually do more harm than good due to the map settings.

Briansgi,

You talking about the post from 4strokemadman? He the CDale Engineer?
Hell, I am still learning who is who in here,hehee, I still trying to learn my CORNHOLES from my YODADDY's. hehe Sorry yo, I like your handle so it came to mind. I do know there is a lot of smart and experienced riders in here and I am a neophyte with a lot of machine for a 1st one, so I am trying to learn and yet fit in.

Ok so pump gas = good stuff don't worry bout gettin more speed outa the high dollar stuff. Thanks man. I am spending enough cash as it is, and if I don't need it, won't buy it.


(I got to get that photo up in here of Corndog so I know who he is...)
