TIMING is stock EVERYTHING is stock. so far i get low octane numbers
and isnt the compression ratio 9.7 on a stock NA...so either the timign was turned way down when teh car went in to production or u guys are using the worng octane

Can't you people use the search feature?
I've already written a diatribe on why people with stock N/A Rx-7s should use 87 and 87 ONLY. Look it up.

Oh, and yeah it talks about "all that knocking or not knocking bullshit". If you don't want to know WHY you should use 87, then feel free to throw your money away and possibly (depending on who you talk to) kill your engine.

Well, whether or not it "kills" your engine, using the higher octane leveled gas DEFINITELY made my car run BETTER! That is not my opinion. It is an experimented fact in my case. I've also added octane booster to 91 octane premium fuel and noticed positive difference in the way the car ran. So, you can say that 87 is the best and should only be used, but I've experience different results regardless.
