Default Stabil

Does this adversely affect anything performance wise while its mixed in the gas??

Just realizing that when the car was tuned with new cam, the tank was filled with a Stabil mix... Wonder if this could have affected the logs and subsequently left anything on the table performance wise?

Stabil is good for everything except octane. [ prevents deposits, removes water ] But does slightly lower octane, so you may see KR when running it.

ya, if it did that, then it would def take some timing and what not? if so that coulda messed with tune, no?
Oh well, cant see paying to retune for probably just a small gain.
Kinda was just curious.

If this did happen the computer will just revert to the Low octane timing table and then readjust to Hi Octane once you get get a tank full of fresh gas and the Kr stops. No worries or need to get a retune.
