Straight Sunoco 104 or VP Fuels Street Blaze 103. Either one will help prevent preignition and detonation with heavy shots of nitrous. Cut back the ground straps on your copper-center NGK two-heat-range-colder plugs and side-gap them to .035, I've been running a dual-stage of 150-shot all last season. This combination keeps my engine alive, regardless of what stupid things I do at the strip... Note the PB time slip in my sig. |
93 on the road and 110 at the track
|
I ran Sunoco 116 with my 50 shot to get my best time 2 years ago

Add some Toluene, it helps boost octane.

You need the proper container to buy some. Usually they'll sell you 5-gal plastic jugs for race fuel, or 5-gallon cans are acceptable. These race fuels aren't gasoline, and the stuff can wreck lawnmower-gas plastic jugs. Do it right. When you spill some on concrete, it evaporates almost immediately ! You can mix with conventional gas, but the effect can be unpredictable. I would never mix real race fuel with conventional gasoline at under a 10:1 ratio. Run your tank nearly dry of pump gas and put at least 5 gallons of race fuel in the tank. The stuff sells for 8-9 dollars/gallon around here, so be prepared. Don't bother with octane boosters or xylene or tolulene - they don't have the additives that race fuels have to prevent preignition or detonation. Used correctly, along with copper-cored NGK plugs two ranges colder and cut-back ground straps, you should be much safer on the track. |
i use a 91 and 101 mix. i usually put in about 5 gallons of 101 in when i spray
|
i run 93 all of the time.
