octane

Hey, I am looking to break into the 7's this time, and was wondering if 100 octane would help out any? last time I ran, i was on 93 octane, and ran an 8.48 (1/8th mile of course)

Well, you should run a little better on 100 octane, but I assume your flash is tuned for 93 oct, so you won't get as much of a benefit from 100oct as you could if you had your own tuning device. You can also run a little more boost with the higher octane to gain some power.

With your mods, though, you should already be in the 7s, so I don't think octane level should be your concern. If you never found out what was making you run much slower than you should, then you should still be working on that. If you have added something since last time, and I just didn't notice, then it changes everything. FYI, I ran 8.17 in the 1/8th with just my S-AFC on pump, so you can get 7s all day with your mods listed. I would be concerned about running that boost with those cams without a fuel pump installed yet. If that's not installed, then I'd do it right away.
