108 Octane ?????

I just put a stage 1 HotCam in my 2004 660R Raptor and Hot Cam recomends 108 Octane fuel. Im still running the stock headers and muffler.
And a pro flow intake. Is a 180 Octane a good Idea at this point ????

Nope, the only reason ( i believe) to run high octane is high compression piston (12:1 and over) 91 oct should do it for you.

As with any engine (including cars) unless told to run over regular octane in the manual, or unless you have increased your compression or timing, it will just cause buildups of sh*t in your engine.
