Here's my old sierra with and without door moldings, you make the call!

His truck, like him is a freak of nature, don't worry about how he got into the 11's just yet, your guarantee'd to break something way before you get to where he is. On top of which nobody really likes him on here
We just kinda of put up with him cuz is SN is in red.
Huh Bill!!
Oh and running higher octane fuel isn't gonna do much for you unless you get yourself a custom tune. Your just wasting your $$ and potentially hurting your cats.

By high octane I was just meaning 91 or 93, not race gas. Cat's should hold up fine as they were just replaced about 2 years ago. I know seat of the pants doesn't mean much but it does "seem" to run better with high octane and I know I get about 1.5-2 mpg better so it saves me a little in the long run. Speaking of tune's, It seems everyone gets custom tunes, is that just because everyone here has that badass of a truck or are the out of the box one's like SLP have not that good (or should I say, for mostly stock applications?)?

You make a good case on the door molding By high octane I was just meaning 91 or 93, not race gas. Cat's should hold up fine as they were just replaced about 2 years ago.

If you put a fuel with lower octane (i.e. it's easier to ignite) on a vehicle that expects fuel to react/burn/ignite later you will increase your chance of detonation, lose power and harm your motor.
I'm not saying you can't run higher octane fuel, as a matter of fact you can run whatever you want in your truck just make sure your tuned for it is all. And if your gonna tune your truck go with a custom tune and do it right, tuning with a hand-held is equivalent to going down on a fat chick, in the end your gonna be left with a bad taste in your mouth and wondering if it was really worth it.
