Hi everyone, I am new to this site.. I have got a 98 Camaro few months ago, it is a V6 and the milage is 102300 now and I was wondering what type of fuel should I use? the specs web page says 87 octane. do you guys think thats a good choice, cause a friend of mine told me that I should use 93 cause the 87 may mess up the engine's head in the long term! is that right?

Re: fuel!!
87 is fine. You really wouldn't need 93 unless you were turbo/supercharged or using nitrous. Welcome to the boards. Lots of info on pretty much everything V6 camaro/firebird.

Re: fuel!!
Run 87... if it doesn't run right with 87 you have a problem that needs fixing.
this is of course unless you have some sort of computer tuning, run nitrous, or a higher engine compression or FI.
I just put my stock tune in(well sort of stock), I was starting to get detonation with 87 now that its a billion degrees out. And i don't want to jump up to 93.-Eric<br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/id/mustangeater82\" target=\"_blank\">2000 NBM V6 Camaro 5-speed</a> T-top <i>converted</i><br /><b>14.467@95.45mph</b> <i>$0 in mods</i><br /><i>The member formerly known as MustangEater8251</i>
