Race gas?

Can a 2013 bolton evo x run race gas on the stock fuel system? If so what type? I know e85 isnt an option without injectors and fuel pump, just wondering what everyone elses preference is.

yep, your wallet is your limit.

Only thing you need to know Is leaded fuel is bad for any catalytic converter. If you use higher octane fuel you should tune for it so that you get the best of it.

Depends on your budget. Use 105 unleaded on up to the leaded c16 if you want. Better fuel equals more potential for power/tq. You can put really good fuel in a mild evo and get great results.

you can run unleaded race gas. BUT the race gas also can do damage in your fuel system , specially where is rubber or plastic. Example stock fuel pump, fuel filters etc.

Which is the safest gas to run over long periods of time with causing damage to my stock fuel system? I wont be stock fuel system forever, but just in case.

Be safe with VP100 or C10. Something along those lines.

I run VP 100 from the pump. Race gas wont hurt your car. Higher octane fuels just have a slower burn rate=more timing and higher boost without detonation

Just dont run leaded gas! unleaded race fuel should be fine
