11.5:1 + nitrous on 93 octane ?
11.5:1 + nitrous on 93 octane ? Cant seem to get a strait answer on this. New to nitrous and just need to know if im gonna have to run race fuel to spray. Car is a daily driver so it would kinda be a pain in the neck but if thats what it needs then it is what it is. Bottom is forged, rings are gapped for nitrous. TEA/tfs 225's have the nitrous exhaust ports, 59cc chambers, pistons .010 out the hole, .052 gasket. Airmotive 340 pump. Spraying 200 shot through 102 plate kit. Car is making 500whp n/a. Let me know if im missing any relevant info. I do appreciate any help.
Well i'm running a combo very similar to yours with 11.5:1 comression and a 100 shot. 93 octane works just fine for me at this level. Was gonna go with a 150 shot, but figured it was a bit much with the 4.10 gear
I think you'll be fine on 93, but if not, Nitrous Outlet makes a dedicated fuel cell that bolts right in without having to do any modifications. It goes right where the fuse box.
I would like to run a dedicated fuel system but cant afford one right now. Im having a hard enough time swinging the n2o system with all the accessories. Ive been told 10.8 and up needs race fuel added, then ive heard 11.5 is fine by a couple people. Just want to make sure. Sam Miller tuned the car, waiting to hear back from him on what he thinks.

My tuner says I will be easily good for a 150 shot with 11.5:1 on 93. Also told that if I want to move up to a 200-250 shot it would be in my best interest to put a stand alone fuel system in....

Verdad Gallardo I'm going to be adding a plate kit here soon and will be looking to spray a 150 shot. Sounds like those plugs would be good for me, as I'm at 11.5:1 compression on my 346.
I'll also add, that NA with some TR6 plugs his car barely made any more power over the -9's, so i wouldnt worry too much about power loss, however they foul out very easy if not warmed up properly.
