At a road corse event today. My viper is backfiring at around 5,000 RPM. Not all the time, but enought times that I'm using 5K as the rev limit. ViperX thought it may be fuel, thinking it really needs 95 octane? I'm running around 93.25 mixing 100 and 91. Seems to do it more on the front straight where I'm pulling hard in 3rd gear from about 2K rpm. On the backstraight where I'm pulling from about 3K rpm it is not backfiring, although I'm shifting around 5200 to avoid issues.
'08 with 4K miles, has belangers and the Mopar ECU, ECU has been on the car for 500 miles. Did backfire once on the freeway at a hard pull at 5K.
Heading back to CA Speedway in the am. Knowlegable help is appreciated! Mike
