No, race gas!!! DON'T RUN OUT!

My car, which has been on its 110 octane **** kicker map for the last 48 hours, is about to be filled back up with 93 octane choad water. My exhaust tip that has turned white from all this pink gas is going to turn dark and sooty again.

I think I need counseling. Putting premium unleaded in and flipping that switch back to the pump gas map is like taking your tooth to the dentist for a drill and fill. I want to keep this horsepower all the time, dang it!

This is one of the reasons why I am building my car for pump gas and pump gas only. I want to hit the 400WHP mark on pump gas.... someday. That way there's no race gas withdrawl.

Just use 100 octane and water injection. You can easily replicate 110 with that setup and 100 octane is not very expensive.

I agree,

I did a lot of research and the best way is to have race gas. However, through time that could be costly as I have experienced with $5.19 G. I think water injection kit for around ~600 to $800 will solve your issue once and for all. At least you will be able to run with 91 and 94 gas with much better timing ( correct me if I am wrong) I spent more money on race gas than a water injection kit so far ;(.

I sounds like, perhaps we need to get a doctor to write Noize up for a prescription of "Race Gas.?" That way, Medicare could help foot some of the cost, and the package of donuts out the door at his local WalGreens?

lol.

Cheers,

Water injection---- this is your answer for not needing race gas anymore...just buy a bigger tank(instead of using your ic sprayer tank).... i am going to use a 3gal tank but im going to run straight methanol injection....

I tried that already, man. The pharmacy lady came out and said: "Son, we need to talk... You've been abusing your prescriptions for 110 and C16. I'm afraid we're gonna have to cut you off. However, that Exxon station across the street serves your kind."

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! LOL cry.

DON'T EVEN BEGIN TO COMPLAIN ABOUT 93!!! You don't even know what crappy gas is.
