Slowsho Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Anyone run race gas? Issues? Good? Bad? I plan on trying out 100oct unleaded this coming spring with LMS stage 5. Input would be greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedCandySHO Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Shell makes a nice unleaded. I think it's called Shell URT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im going to check around if there is any places that sell race gas around here. I think theres only like 2-3 places in a 20mile radius. It's easier to get E85 around here than race gas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjhpadi Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Last time I checked race gas was like $8.95 per gallon...just too expensive to run on the street...it may be OK for a track car, but I would think that running that it could also benefit from a tune for the extra octane.

Paulford8 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 I ran turbo blue once, 105 octane I believe. So when on Stage 4 I was going to the track and it was hot as hell... Stage 4 is 94 octane and I didnt want to get timing taken out by knock sensor on 95/95 day with 93 octane. I believe I just pumped a couple gallons in with a few gallons of 93 left. Dont know if it helped or hurt but no issue. I know a guy who ran out at the track, bought some race gas at track, and sped up a couple tenths. Later he found his knock sensor was getting tripped. He wasnt in an SHO, and I later data logged with my mycal and no knock fires were found. Get a methanol kit!!!! You get all the timing you want under boost but fine with 93 while you DD.

Jojomofo21 Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 I ran a few gallons at the track and it tripped my check engine light. To much for the cats. I wouldn't run it unless you had a race gas tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash712us Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 I personally feel the times I ran 108 at the track slowed me down. However my best times I was running a mix of toluene in my tank. But with meth injection race gas isn't necessary, Julio of alkycontrol has a 8 second mustang that runs on pump gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
