Default some questions

ok so ive found a camaro 2000 z28 auto black t-top.
im going to look it over an give it the once over tomorrow.
if i like it and nothing appears to be wrong with it ill take it home.

so does it really make a difference in 86 or 90 octane.
in the gas i use or what is there any real performance notice?

It can be done but it is very likely that you will see both less performance and MPG's with an octane lower than 91, I would suggest that you just run the premium fuel

A lid is definitely a good choice, easy to install and has excellent gains for a cheap mod. Here is a link to them on our site:

Don't be cheap with fuel. 90 octane should be fine.
Look at this link. It applies to your Z28 just as much as the T/A. https://ls1tech.com/forums/pontiac-f...s-see-pic.html
