If its shows 70% and tuned on E85, then you could say it has the potential to detonate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The late model Holdens do and some other Euros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Run lean... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
