Default 175 shot on 93 pushing it?.

Just wondering if 150 would be the highest you guys recommend with 93 pump? (given the car is tuned fine and whatnot)
Right now I'm at 125 but if wanted to go to a 175, can i run with 93? If not, can i just throw some race fuel in the mix? I heard the standalone tank it's the way to go for anything bigger than a 150, but wouldn't mixing race fuel in the gas tank do the same? Only benefit i can think of to have the dedicated tank is, you only use it when you need it and don't have to "waste" the race fuel if you aren't going to race...

I did it for a few months and didn't have any issues. I eventually went to a standalone cause I decided to go with direct port and obviously a bigger shot.

You should be ok as long as everything else is in check. The right plugs (br7ef) if you are still stock compression, enough fuel pump (255 with hot wire is good for 600-650WHP) and enough timing pulled (start with at least 8).

From there you can work on tuning it back in for more power.
