Does stage on require premium Fuel? Or is mid grade ok for it?

 

You should be running your car on premium anyway.

At least 91 octane.

 

yes all SS/SC's require premium off of the dealer lot!

 

What they said. Stock you should only use premium.

 

although it doesnt mean they have to have it regular FTW w/ pulled timing and a loss in hp. lol.

 

i don't see why anyone would want to use less than premium. yes, you CAN run less than premium, but not for nothing, if you can't afford that extra 2-3 dollars per fillup, you probably shouldn't be modding your car.

 

Exactly, I have never run lower then 92 in mine as stock. Never ran lower then 93 after staged.

 

I watched a Stage 2 balt with a cat-back put down 205 to the wheels on 87. Its a nice way to lose 50hp.

 

well thats good to know now, they never told me at the dealership? Guess I'm running premium now thats for the information

 

Doesn't the manual even mention to use 91 or higher octane with the SS/SC?

 

Prolly but i dont read manuals, I would rather ask you guys

 

Nothing wrong with that, haha.

 

manual says you can use midgrade but premium is recommended. But come one now man, give your car the best of the best

 

Yes it says to use premium gas in the manual.

 

why buy a car if you're just going to half-ass it?
91 and above.

 

i used 91 whan i was bone stock

 

maybe the manual in canada is different but it says 91 is recommended, not required. it says putting in 87 will result in a decrease in performance.. but its not gonna kill your (stock) cobalt

but its been said already, why would you want to put lower than 91???
