So I went to a near by gas station and low an behold, they had SUNOCO 110 there. Can I put this in my stock M7 without it blowin up? I know it sounds stupid, but the stuff just smells nice when you run it with klotz
The only thing it will hurt is your wallet. It would be a total waste of money.
Your stock motor is recomended to run on 87 octane. The higher the octane the more compression/timing you should have to burn it correctly. High octane fuel burns colder and has a higher detonation point. Thats why in a mod motor, that has high compression or way advanced timing, they have to run good fuel. You may actually lose power from running that in a stock motor.

Throwing a timing key in it would recomend using 92, so then I should be ok ehh? I know its gonna hurt the wallet, it will be a one time thing really, and prolly mix it with 92 or something. I just dont wnt to blow the motor thats all

Why would you assume higher octane would "blow" your motor, it will make less HP, not more, total waste of money, you like the smell, run the Klotz.
