race gas??? So do you think running race gas will get me any gains over 93? 11:5-1 compression H/C/I LT1 making 425rwhp?
Think race gas would help on the dyno and dragstrip???

There are a lot of different "Race" gases. Im positive there are some out there that will help, and a lot more out there that will hurt.
Youll need to try several, but you ideally want a gas that has the lowest octane, that will not cause detonation, maybe something oxygenated.
I would try VP street blaze 100, MS 101 or MS103. Theyre all unleaded in case you have a catalytic converter still, and Ive had good luck with the unleaded fuels even without a cat.

So you do think there are some gains to be had from switching, once I find the right race fuel for my car. Any idea on what I could expect to pick up?
No cats here. stepped LTs into 3"TDs

Thats what I thought.I might just throw some in at the track to find out for sure. Ill do a couple runs on 93 then mix in some 100+ and see if it picks up at all. If the weather gets better the track should be open this week!

wow it must be nice to have a set of new muffler bearings.....im still running my stock bearings
......I bet one of those HD clutch belts would help get my 60' times down......I guess I cant have everything
I agree. I've done it tons of times and I don't think you will see any real gains unless the car is setup for it. Or needs it. You can call VR race fuels and talk to a tech guy that would give you the lo'down.
