Finally some hard numbers. Your post belongs in the FAQ.
Now it would be interesting to try using 87 octane if you have been using 91. Nobody seems to believe that this car runs fine on 87. Mine was stuck in the hot air position and so was my cousin's 92 740. I have removed the flapper mechanism all together. My cousin's only took one rivit to keep the flapper in the cold air position. Cold weather is not really an issue here in SoCal.
I bet the colder air intake will also help the engine live longer since there is less change for knock.
I always knew the intake air would get hot. But I had no idea it was that bad.
Thanks again dewfpo.
