Im going to the dyno and I need to know what octane do you guys think that I should use???? Its a H/C car with the racetronix fuel pump and hotwire harness!!!!!

The stock pump was ok for a 100shot which made 575rwhp......

What about this pump......would I be ok with just sunoco94 octane or sunoco94 octane with an octane booster???

the higher the better. the higher your octane count is the lesser the likelyhood of detonation.

I run sunoco94 with a 150 shot, we still have it down here in PA. But I cut my timing down to 24 on the spray.

Ive heard of people running premium pump gas with a 150 shot with a stock motor. I could see it being done.

I run 100 octane, but I don't drive the car allot. Hardly worth the extra expense for a daily driver.

Its great that Texas is one of the few places that has 93 octane at every pimp. Where as some only have 91 being the most.
