someone stated that aftermarket cams require at least 95 octane fuel to run correctly ?? is this true??

 

What would a Cam have to do with Gas? The cam controls the valves a new piston may need atleast 95 or somthing but I haven't heard of a CAM needing a certain Octane..

 

Yeah i wrote that post on that Hot Cams require a 95 octane. I When i received my Hot Cam in the mail, the paperwork included in the package says to run 95 octane. I thought that was weird so i went on to Hot Cams web site, and on web page it also says to run 95 octane. With my set-up have i ran on anything under 95 octane, NO. Could you run pump gas on the Hot Cam, i have no idea, i only stated what hot cam recommends.

 

alright well i was just wondering i run half 110 and half 91 so im good with my setup

 

I mix VP 110 with pump 91 and i runs great on it. When i don't run 94 i can tell my bike doesn't like it. It sputters on just 91

 

What compression does your piston have that you think you need race gas or a mixture of that and premium?

 

I run a Wisco 666 bore with a 11:1 compression and i use 95 octane and have never had any problems with detonation.

 

I have 10.5:1 and run premium, I guess thats as low as 91 and have no detonation problems.

 

wow, I've been around to a lot of gas stations thru out the US, and the highest I've seen is 93 Octane.... Are you getting this somewhere specific?

 

Well thats why my Hotcam failed me. And destroyed my head.
