Is it bad, or is there an advanage to use race fuel with my 100 shot or should i just stick with good grade gas?...need to know asap....Drag races this coming Sunday the 24th......thanks...

 

As long as you don't have a tune with a lot of timing added, you should be fine with 93 octane. But just make sure your tuner checks for knock retard and all the other important stuff.

 

There is an advantage to running race gas but if you don't plan on getting the car re-tuned before you go then you won't see very much of a gain, if any.

 

Just to be safe, run 100 octane. My 2 cents.

 

whatz u say willis......j/k you mean if i use R/fuel i need to tone it down? tell me again plz explain a little better.......6 grade drop out........lol...thx

 

Race gas is safer, it allows you to run more timing, and there is alot less chance of it detonating.
If you are still running o2's then do not run race gas, you will burn them up.

If you are not running o2's then it wouldn't hurt to mix some with your regular gas but do not expect to gain a whole lot from it.

If you were to run straight race gas or even a 50-50 mix and have it re-tuned, your tuner could add a degree or two of timing witch would give you more power.

Get it?

 

You need to get your car tuned for your heads/cam/nitrous first george. not to come off like a dick but I have a feeling that you have spent enough money lately to have had your car tuned by now, I wouldnt even drive it anymore before tuning if i were you.

If youre going to spray it anyway, race gas wouldnt hurt, although not knowing what your AF ratio is will make it risky as hell anyway. I'd rather replace o2's then your bottom end

 

WAIT! this car had that much work done to it and its never been tuned???? Hope this guy has LOTS of money if he's bringing it to the track without having a tune done. For all you know your A/F is like 18:1 (which can and does happen after changing internal components)....I would SERIOUSLY suggest not going to the track until you had the car tuned. Putting race gas in wont do a thing for you.

 

I have been telling him over and over... It's wonder it has survived all of the bottle it has seen so far! And a TNT kit no less

 

Thats a huge risk just going out and running like that. I think you need to be a real friend and lay behind his car so he cant get it out of the driveway!

I tell everyone the same thing, PATIENCE! if you cant afford to do it the right way now, save your money and then get it done. why risk blowing your motor???

 

 

Friends don't let Friends drive untuned....remember that.

 

lol! This is gonna be good material for the next local meet..
