JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

What was done to your JK this week?

93 ouch!!!!!

Why 93 may I ask? No need unless you have a supercharger or turbo kit

I always run 93. Better performance.

Higher octane fuel burns slower which causes you to lose power. High performance engines would make more power on lower octane fuel but they can't because of detonation issues. They only use it cause they can produce more power by using it.

Uh, no. Increasing the compression ratio ( aka higher octane ) ... Produces more power... For a given displacement.

The ride quality is excellent. More plush than stock, although the high-speed handling leaves a little to be desired. It's a bit flighty on the freeway, but still perfectly driveable. I will be getting some adjustable LCAs eventually to correct the issue.


The Kit:

Before:

After:

Edit: Also added a sticker

I don't know what your smoking but higher octane fuel does not increase your compression ratio! It allows you to run a higher compression ratio if you were say building a engine! You can not increase the compression ratio of your engine unless you take it apart and machine the heads or install custom pistons.

Higher octane= slower burn= less boom=more controlled burn
Lower octane = faster burn = more boom=less controlled burn
