Default What fuel to run on a 200 shot

My car is 11.5:1 and on a 200 shot. I want to make sure It lives, but with as much timing as possible. I want to have one tune, all I'd need to do is add the higher octain fuel when I plan on spraying. I have no O2's so that's not an issue. So what fuel is recommended?

Thanks.

You can't have your cake AND eat it too. N/A performance and 200 shot performance NEED different timing requirments. You're car might want anywhere from 5-10 degrees taken out for a 200 shot. Reading the plugs will tell you what it wants and what is safe.

"All you'd need to do" probably won't cut it. I hate to spring it on you but you MIGHT find out that on the hose...it will also need a colder spark plug.

Change Fuel
Pull Timing
Change plugs
FLOW fuel
Burp it
Make Pass
Pull Plugs
Read Plugs.

I do this when I spray 200. Do I have to? Nobody said I have to but after reading and watching. The happy people do the stuff listed. Others do this

What fuel? I'm actually trying VP's MS109 unleaded this year and possibly Q16 and VP113. All have big oxygen and make nice power with the right tuning. If the price is similar, I'll just stick with Q16/113. Goodluck! That car is going to fly!

I understand all of that, I have been running nitrous for 8 years now, but not with a set up like this. I have all my bases covered as far as fuel, plugs, and the tuning will be done by Chad at Greenlight motorsports. I will have him tune it with the proper fuel. I also understand that there will be timing taken out, I know that not as much will be needed to be taken out if the proper fuel is ran.

One tune is feesable, and I will lose some power N/A. I know this. So yes, I'll be running a nitrous tune all the time.

I've been running a mix of 93 and 110 or 112 L whatever the track has... 150 shot.

Why would you use power N/A? Leave the tune in the car, retard timing with an external box, put 116 in a dedicated cell, change the plugs and go.
