Posts: 3423 | Registered: Mar 2002  |  : OneBadHatch ¯ Member # 970 posted                                 can i run 100 at the track...for say like 5 runs...would that be fine and then run 85 around everywhere else -------------------- 1990 GT TFS Intake and Cam AFR 165's Plus all the goodies Posts: 834 | From: Oceanside, CA | Registered: Mar 2002  |  : 93venom ¯ Member # 778 posted                              125 is fine for your motor, ask anyone i know whose running 150 shot on stock stangs, you wont blow it. i mean use it in moderation. my buddy runs 150 on his 185,000 mile 5.0. do what you gotta do, but i run a 125, use it wisley -------------------- 93 cobra #3445 1988 ranger-302 in progress 2003 ranger fx4 level 2 Posts: 604 | From: Peninsula | Registered: Jan 2002  |  : onesicklx ¯ Member # 285 posted                                 125 shot is cool, just used it when you need it.
