Thought you were gonna go with ms 109? Looking for more octane? You could also try the extreme unleaded

chawkins2001

Just looking to raise the octane for the spray, not tuning the car or anything. MS109 was not in stock and quite a bit more pricey.

Extreme unleaded is 110 octane and it's unleaded

I might try it this season

Was out at commerce last friday night and only got one run in due to constant incidents (from fluid spills to some guy's wheel coming off with the halfshaft attached) so hoping to make a solid pass with my drags this Saturday. Working on getting a buddy to drive one of my cars with the wheels and gear in there. One way or another, I'm going this Saturday .

Awesome bro, cant wait to see you.

might want to tune a bit for the 110 craig. it burns much later than 93 and may actually slow you down if your not tuning for it.

nanayaw6

Is there anything to be gained without a corresponding tune?

Grip Grip

Best of luck this weekend!

320 dreamer

the higher octane fuel helps curb detonation but theres a point were the burn outweighs the benefits without proper tuning. if your mixing 110 with 93 you should be ok but running full 110 should have a proper tune

grip grip i guess i picked up the last 10 gals of ms109 for you!!

nanayaw6

so im guessing a 50/50 mix of 110 and 93 then. where do you guys buy your race gas typically? was under the assumption it was only sold at the track.
thinking of trying this as i have noticed my af has richened up half a point since i mixed in techron after my oil change and fill up last week with the same IATs.

nanayaw6

looking forward to seeing your beast run again

chawkins2001

I may only need one pale bro, u can use my other pale if need be. the track also sells 100 octane.

vp racing has a depot in commerce ga. you can buy just about any type of fuel they sell there, by the 5 or 15 or 30 and 55 gal drum or can

nanayaw6

Thank you Gentlemen!

54 gallon drums. A guy from VP joked that by selling 54 gallon drums they are making a killing off keeping that extra gallon and reselling it. They also charge for the drum (deposit) but it's the best way to buy it if your using a lot.

320 dreamer

correct. sadly theres no way for me to get a large drum off the truck into my pickup so i just grab 5 gal cans of c85 when I'm going to be at the track a few weekends in a row. other than that i have a decent station that has a minimum of e70

Reminder about tomorrow at Silver Dollar if anyone is interested in coming out to drag.

draggbody

i'll be there... look for me in a red dodge 3500...

RaceHorse

You guys have some nice cool northeast type weather today. Good luck, lets see some new PB's.

Grip Grip

Beech Bend was closed today due to the cold. WTF???? I hope you had better luck than me.

Hulk

What was the weather?

draggbody

perfect weather... mid 50's and not a cloud in the sky... but the track wasnt doing so great towards the end of the day... nanayaw6 went from running low 12's/ high 11's to solid 11.50s by the days end... he had a great pit crew, lol... craig still has traction issues, but to drive to the track on a new build and break into the 10s is impressive... a little more tweaking and that things going to be mean... i had a fun day helping out while my crank is in good hands at BIP getting the crank snout fixed... good to meet jason as well as craigs dad...

Grip Grip

It's terrible the track fell apart and caused nanayaw6 to run faster at the end of the day, but I'm glad to hear Craig was trapping like a baller.

draggbody

im picking up on your sarcasm, but i had feet on the ground and im not a ****ing idiot... the real fast cars, were going fastest earlier in the day... nanayaw6 ran faster because he was learning how to deal with slicks, i believe it has a little more in it... he didnt have the raw torque that craig has... craig is also on a radial...

Grip Grip

Sorry, I didnt mean to be a dick, but I was. My bad.
