Default need advice. just got done building my 97 2.0 SOHC

heres a list of what is done.
• Professionally Machined Block & Crank
• JE Pistons & Rods +.040”, 12.5:1 Compression
Stage 3 Crane Cam 158-0014
• Total Seal gapless rings
• Mopar Performance Gaskets
• MSD coil and wires
• Accel injectors & fuel rail
• Indy aluminum intake manifold
• Modern Performance Throttle body 60mm
• AEM air intake
• Fuel pump
• Mopar Performance CPU
• Performance Exhaust and header
• Moroso High Capacity Oil pan & pump
• Limited Slip Differential
• New Gears
• Racing Axles
• Short Throw Shifter
• Racing Clutch
• Yokohama Racing Tires (0 miles)
• AutoMeter Gauges and pods
now my question is what kind of fuel would you run in this? it has 89 octane in it now and it will start but it wont idle on its own. i took it around the block and it didnt really have the power? im hoping its the gas? also this gas has been in the tank for about 2 years?

91 or higher and if the gas has sat that long...its bad with no fuel preservative...drain the tank and put 91 or higher

yes if you run the Performance CPU. you have to use 91 octane or better.

91 octane your high perf comp probably cranks the timing up so you should run 91. lol chevys run no matter what... one time my buddy had to take a leak and my gas tank was empty, he had been drinkin whiskey so we figured what the hell? best mod ever done to it.... added 50hp! i finally was able to almost keep up with the fords
