high octane gas ?

[dawsonsdaddy49]

how much of a difference do you guys notice on the type of gas you run ?

i was thinking of going and filling up w/ some turbo blue race fuel before i go to the track tonight ?

are you turboed?
In terms of power, you are best off running the lowest octane possibly without detonation.
If you have an NA car, you will without a doubt make best power on 87 octane. If you are turboed, you will be able to get more power IF you run more timing or more boost. If you don't change either, power will not change.

yup

yeah i have a 88tc motor

well i'm running around 13 psi now.... 10 degree timing.

so basically is there no benefit of running the high octane fuel ?

reread what I said. You will see a benifit if you tune it to take advantage of the extra octane. That means running more boost and or timing.

lol

yes i did read it ! ....... LOL


asking if there was no other benefit, trying to keep boost level where it is at for the moment ..... putting too much damn stress on my al4d the way it is
