Has anyone experimented w/ race gas? Next time I think I'm going to ice the intake, lower air pressure, and try dyno mode, if I can figure out how to get the darn thing in it. Thanks for all the input!

You should experiment to see what best suits the track conditions but keep in mind that often your first run will be your best because of heat soak. I understand that track conditions (altitude, temp etc.) have a great effect on performance but if your trap speed is below 114, my opinion is that the computer is managing heat resulting in reduced power (rich fuel mixture, timing etc.). These are just my observations
