it allows you to run 87 octane withought getting pinging also. but remember that your engine makes the open/closed loop switch at 180*, so if your thermostat is keeping your engine too cool....like said above, it will thrown a CEL for engine cold too long, and make it run very rich bc it thinks its still cold.
and dodge man i dont mean to rattle your cage but there is no way a hotter engine runs better than a cooler one.....please enlighten me as to why you think this?
