Could I put reg gas in my stock Cobra if I didnt put it in boost? I know whats the point of having a Cobra if im not going to have fun with it but I was just wondering. I not even going to put reg gas in my car but like I said just asking.

I wouldn't recommend it, but you can if you want to here it knock. My car is tuned for 93 octane, and all I can get around here is 92. So I have to add a bottle of octane booster to each tank just to be safe.

Don't do it bro. You're just asking for a pair of brown britches if you go with regular.

Dont do it. My 360 Jeep is also tuned for 93 Octane and if I put even 89 in it I can hear it start to ping with just regular driving and a lot under throttle. 87 octane is even worse, I can hear it ping just rolling softly.
I would never put anything but 93 in the Cobra.
