So since I have just moved from So Cal from Ohio a few months back I have to say it's a total culture shock.
Having said that, my '87 GN was recently delivered and it feels great cruising my GN around the greater L.A area. However, I've noticed what seems like a drop in power. I not sure if it's been the change in elevation, the climate, or the two point drop in octane rating (used 93 back home), but my Buick doesn't feel as fast as it was back east. Maybe it's a combination of all of the above?
I was curious as to what all of the guys are running out here in regards of fuel, and although it's quite costly, I was thinking of running a blend of 91 and maybe some VP race fuel, just to bring the octane rating up -and then some.
I've owned my car for a little over three years, I know quite a bit about Buicks (although I'm still learning), and I've been in love with these cars since 1987. I don't want to sound like a total newb, but what's a safe and relatively cost-effective solution to the 2-point dip in octane?
Also, occasionally it likes to stall while at speed once I let off of the throttle. I'm thinking it's either the IAC, MAF, or the cam sensor. It even makes a sort of burping or popping noise on occasion. It started doing this right before I left Ohio. Any thoughts?
It's a basically stock, bolt-on car (mods below). Any help will be welcomed. Thanks.
