    Timing and octane question

    On my setup i'm running 16* timing btdc on 87 octane with no pinging, i didnt even bother trying to go higher to see if it would ping i just stopped at 16. Is this normal? I thought to run this timing i would need higher octane. Is this because my car might be running rich as hell?
