Race gas vs. pump gas on same tune
I'm getting ready to head to the track later on tonight and thinking about buying some race gas. I have used it before in my turbo cars to control detonation, but wondering how it would do on my 98 N/A street car.
I don't have my MSD box on it yet, so I can't advance the timing myself.
Question: If I put 5 gal of 112 in my ride, will the factory PCM advance the timing due to better octane? IE: make more power with the race gas vs 93 pump gas?
If the timing twister was hooked up, I would put 2-4 more degrees in it and then it should need the race gas?? But I'm wondering if I am wasting my money if the computer won't advance the timing itself..
