fuel options....

I had made a GT35R setup thinking I was going to be able to get a dual tune for e85 and 91. However, all the gas stations here stoped selling E85. What is the next best fuel for my setup? I would only use the gas for when I go down to the drag strip. I'll be running 91 regularly. Thanks for your guys time in advance.

mods on my 8
Cop kit
PTE 1200cc
gt35r
gsc s2s
walbro 255

If your not a fan or alky injection and such your best off just using Race Gas or if you trust it, using some sort of additive to increase the octane.

Not real sure you have another option boss. I mean being in TX or at least where you are you don't have or can't get to 93 or 94, E85 is outty, so C16 or some other form of race gas is your only other option. Unless you want to mail order fuel by the barrel or sumthing like that. If that's the case check this out http://www.rockettbrand.com/ Under the dealer network tab it look like there is one distributor in TX:
REEDER DISTRIBUTORS
ATTN: JIM MOORE
5450 WILBARGER
FORT WORTH, 76119

Looks like he can get you 100, 111, 114 and 118 octane fuel.

I don't know much about race gas but it is available to me. If I'm trying to get the most out of my setup; would I run straight race gas or do I mix it to get 100 octane? So I guess I am asking what's best for our 4 cylinders.

Meth although your not a fan is 2 bucks or so a bottle and distilled water is free if you have a R.O. sytem. Race gas at least out by me is nearly 10 bucks a gallon. Choice is up to you.

I don't mind the cost much because I am going to be mainley using 91to cruise with, and just race gas at the drags or small x events which are rare here.

Just be careful boost is your enemy with 91 specially after running race gas but I get what your saying.

to bad methol isn't an option. I've been adding 2 gallons to a full tank of 91 for a while now and she loves it.

Your options are HFS-6 with a great failsafe, or race fuel. Problem with race fuel is that it is leaded.

Everything stock on an Evolution 7 except

3" TBE
GT35
AMS IC
1200cc Delphi injectors
255 Walbro.
Tephra 90550701 rom

When the tank is near empty, I throw in 2 gallons of methanol in the gas tank and then fill up on 95RON (should be America 90-91 AKI). My only fail-safe is constant observation (AFRs, temps, etc). If I can't get methanol, I have an alt-map for 87AKI. It's pretty hard to get knock with 2 gallons of meth mixed with gas.

I don't think I'll run it in my gas tank like that
