caddyman Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 Looking at running a 50/50 mix once I put my Coolhead on......but holy crap there are a ton of different "grades" of race gas. They have there reccomendations on the site, but still not sure. I will only run the mix on the dunes I think..... Quote

jbooker82 Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 VP = Very Pricey You best bet is probably 110 or C12 those are going to be the most common that people will sell. VP Red would be another. I run Sunoco Standard 110 it is a heck of a lot cheaper than VP. Quote
NYUK Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 vp c 12 no 50/50. straight c 12 and maxima 927. when you mix it with pump gas any kinda gain you might hope to expect is null and void because of all the additives they put in pump gas. Quote

I use 927 for mix already. So should I just figure on instliing the Coolhead.....check what the compression ends up at, and go from there. I don't wat to "have" to run race fuel. But if I'm going to drag my buddies and there 450's the extra performance would be nice. I have a set of 19cc and 20cc on the way. Quote
Bansh-eman Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 I switched from VP110, to AV gas... didn't feel any differance in the two. I am sticking with the AV gas. Much cheaper then race gas Quote

rubberneck Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 I dont run the VP because the only place to me close is the local stealer and they get an arm and a leg for it. I have been running Sunoco 110 just paid 7.40/gallon. Quote
Bansh-eman Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 AV gas.........you talking aviation fuel? For planes?? yup, i get it at the local airport for like 5.20 a gallon. vice 7.50 for vp Quote

I have been running Sunoco 110 just paid 7.40/gallon. vp fuels will ship gas right to your house via ups.there is a depot near me in delaware.i used to buy drums of methanol and c 16 there. check into it. it still gotta be cheaper than the dealer.

Gonna have to ask him bout that. And it's pretty much the same stuff as the race fuel? Won't harm anything motor wise, ect.? Quote

Won't harm anything motor wise, ect.? Watch your AV gas carefully, i ran 5 gals and had no problems. Buddy mixed up a can and 3 days later it was full of water. Quote
Bansh-eman Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 the ratings for AV gas are a little differant then race gas because they are rated for high altitudes, but they are 100-115 octane, and it has lead in it as well. lead is good for 2 strokes. well really any motor that doesnt have an O2 sensor.
