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.

Click to expand...

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.
