Going to the track on Saturday gonna hit the car with a 250 shot just wanted to see if this stuff works just for extra insurance? http://m.summitracing.com/parts/mef-100032
Beware of additives- there's a lot of adverse effects they can have. If anything- mix the gas in your tank with a good unleaded race gas. Here's a good formula for figuring what your octane will be when mixing fuels:
( [ % Fuel A ] x [ Octane of Fuel A ] ) + ( [ % Fuel B ] x [ Octane of Fuel B ] ) = Octane of Mixture
For example, take a 50/50 mix of 91 octane and streetblaze 100.
( [.50] x [91] ) + ( [.50] x [100] )
( 45 ) + (50)
95 octane combined. When using the formula, remember that the % needs to be in decimal form.
Here's an example of what additives can do to your plugs-
So these additives burn up the plugs? I have ran 93 then mixed 5 gallons of unleaded 104 with good results but the place I buy the 104 at sold me a bottle of that additive said he had good results now I have a can of this stuff don't know if to use or not btw mixing the 93 and 104 made my plugs orange color also
It's primarily the octane boosters that will cause the plugs to turn orange- or other weird colors. The plug above was supposedly ran with a popular additive. I'd run it on a fresh set of plugs and see what effect it has on the plugs before I ran it for a period of time-
I'm gonna test and tune this weekend so I will let you guys know gonna hit it with the same .78 jet as last time and if all looks good we will try an .88n jet with the .39f jet you guys recommend with the plate hoping for the 9 sec slip I've been after went 10.00@135 with the .78 jet we got much cooler weather now and got a drag bar and took about another 80lbs off the car so we will see
Octane rating is a measure of a fuel's ability to resist ‘knock’. The octane requirement of an engine varies with compression ratio, geometrical and mechanical considerations and operating conditions. The higher the octane number the greater the fuel’s resistance to knocking or pinging during combustion.
The right octane level for your vehicle
The recommended octane rating for most vehicles is usually octane 87, but be sure to check your vehicle owner’s manual. Ordinarily, a vehicle will not benefit from using an octane higher than recommended in the owner’s manual. However, some car models have high-compression engines and electronic controls, which are designed to benefit from the greater power output and improved fuel economy of high octane fuel. Since octane requirements can vary with operating and environmental conditions, your vehicle may need a higher octane fuel than recommended to prevent knocking.
What this means is that... A higher octane fuel will not make more power in your street car unless it has had mods done that would require it or is a high-performance car from the factory needing the higher octane fuel. It could actually make it slower
Yes, if you plan to spray, a higher octane fuel should be used as a safety factor.
If you want an additive that works skip all that stuff and go to your local paint store and get some xylene or toluene.
Considering what Xylene and Toluene cost these days, you're better off running real 'Race Gas'.
As far as the MMT based octane boosters, I ran over a hundred cans of TORCO through my Mustangs and never had an issue with fouled plugs, at least not till I fried the rings.
Looking at the plugs pictured I'd guess they had some oil blowby going on.
You don not want to run too much of the MMT based octane booster's .. With the TORCO, you only add 64 ounces to every 10 gallons, the stuff isn't additive .. One can raises you 6-ish octane points, the Second can nets you half that and a Third can nothing., and at that point you may start getting deposits on the plugs.
Well guys I went to the track last nite and made one motor pass picked .3 tenths and 4mph and bettered the 60ft by .1 this was after adding a umi drag bar umi k member and sux2bu ram air we also had better weather
Turned the kit on with a 200 and disintegrated the 10 bolt I went 1.4 60ft 10.00 @135 last time out guess it wasn't having it tonight
Anyone you this ?Race gas race fuel concentrate
