Bought a five gallon jug of leaded 110 octane "VP" brand racing fuel. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)
My motor seems to have higher than stock compression. Lowest is 160 PSI. My speed shop guy says the valves will like the lead. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/chowtime.gif) Maybe I just like throwing money out my open windows at speed... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) KT |

well the leaded end of it acts as a lube on the valve to seat surface. the higher octane gives a higher resistance to compression ignition. as well as a slower more even burn, basicly the oppisite of running nitrogylicern ( sp ). the gives your pistons a push instead of a shove. in theory you will get more hp out of the higher octane, but i read a comsumer reports thingy a few years ago about it.
basicly they said a car will get 1/2 to 1 hp out high premium gas vrs regular, and 99 % of the cars out will not run better on the high grade stuff, at least once the computer adjusts for it. the consumer reports also said the best thing you can do is every 4 to 5 tanks run a name brand high grade gas for the cleaners then back to reg. for what you want probably want out of it, mix a 50/50 mix race gas and regular, should bump your octane to around 100, and not affect jetting. |
