It will run better and last longer with the correct gas but this isn't anything you should even be thinking about under 150k miles with a stock vehicle, even if it does see the track once every month or two. More aggressive than that though and you start asking for things to break (eventually over time in a reasonable fashion, track duty wears cars out faster no matter what anyone says).
It sounds like there's some confusion as to whether this knock occurs before the injector seals fail or if the knock is a symptom of the seals failing due to high temperatures.
As always insight is appreciated, super nervous to sign up for a track day even though I've been wanting to do it for months now...  |
91 E10, the car should be able to run on. 87...
On the other hand, most guys I know that run E85 will test every fillup they get.
