1qwkfox Posted December 6, 2004 Report Posted December 6, 2004 I was wondering if it would be worth it to mix a lttle 100 octane , and also the pro and cons of doing this ?? I usually have it laying around for my car .. and I have been thinking about mixing about a gallon to the next mix .. Any help would be GREAT ! Ed Quote
RNBRAD Posted December 6, 2004 Report Posted December 6, 2004 It's actually a waste and alone will not increase your power if it's unoxygenated. It is beneficial for high compression motors with advanced timing to decrease the likely hood of detonation. So in other words if you don't run high compression you won't see any benefit either way. It won't hurt the motor to use it, just the pocket book. Quote
squish Posted December 7, 2004 Report Posted December 7, 2004 I do hair scrambles and use half av gas and half pump. Works great. Quote
Ducman Posted December 7, 2004 Report Posted December 7, 2004 Get a head with 20cc domes and go +4 on the timing and the 100 octane will make a difference, of coarse you can't run pump fuel anymore with that setup. Quote
bigboybanshee Posted December 7, 2004 Report Posted December 7, 2004 So at 148psi and +4 timing I'd be OK to run 93 octane? Quote
warwgn Posted December 7, 2004 Report Posted December 7, 2004 the higher the octane the slower it burns. Hihg octane is good to help keep the motor cooler and prevent detonation. Thats why av gas is high octane, planes need alot of compression because of the altitude, high compression causes more heat. so if you run lower compression it will decrease your performance, but if you have overheating problems it will help that.JMO Quote

Yamahammer Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 car sunds good the gas will not help or hurt to run it without the compression.. it will make it un a little cooler but you wil not gain any performance . but the smell is priceless... Quote
