    Booooo, race gas is for girlies!!


    j/k

    Where are you going to the dyno? I know that slowboy in Indiana has it, and i think the BP at the bottom of the hill below Holiday Park on 380 has it as well.... I havent been on Pittspeed for a couple years, but i remember a few threads on there listing where all there was race fuel

    No clue where either of those are. I was hoping Timmy was going to have that VP stuff by the time my car was ready.

    What octane do these places carry too?

    Tim i would imagine that selling gasoline would be a pain in the butt.

    I believe it's Citgo 110 @ Freedom and as soon as it's gone he is switching to Sunoco race fuels.

    That being said...

    LOL am I the only one here who has been smart/daring/crazy enough (pick your word of choice) to cut pump gas with Xylene (since you cant get Toluene anymore)?

    Xylene is an aromatic hydrocarbon with an octane rating of about 118. I've mixed 2.5 gallons of 93 pump gas with a gallon of Xylene and added some Marvel's Mystery Oil (about 5 capfuls) and a splash of fuel system cleaner and it let me hold my 100 octane timing map all day long.

    The only downside is that xylene is really REALLY harsh on rubber fuel lines and it has no lubrication qualities, hence adding the MMO to compensate.

    i bet Cam99 is having a flashback now of me pouring that mixture into my tank with this incredulous look... right before his car lost :)
