With proper install and a good tune is it still save to run 500whp with 91 pump gas? I am doing a TT build soon but i am skeptical on pushing 500whp on the stock motor with that 91 octane(garbage fuel).

I have no idea. I don't live in a place that's cursed with 91. If I did, I'd have a meth setup for sure.

How about 93? Is that decent fuel?

93 here all day but I will be running a additive for track days. About $30 a bottle. Brings it up to 96-98.

Dzel 10-31-2013 03:44 PM
I'll probably do the same since its not my DD

What's that bottle called? I'd be interested in that for a few runs.

Torco Fuel.

Torco Race Fuels - Home of Torco Accelerator

why wouldnt you run 100 at the track?

elperuano 10-31-2013 06:16 PM
That's easy, my set-up is good on pump 93. All day everyday.

This... LOL!

We are not Honda Civic drivers who buy a FI kit off ebay and install it overnight in our parents garage only to have it blow up in your face the next day trying to be a drift king.

When I had my 350z aps TT I used to get race gas from a local airport or just pickup some xylene or toluene and mix myself to get the desired octane...

Hey man I'm in CT too and I'm looking for a place to do my possible FI install, who do you have for your install?

You have to use SOOOOOOO much Xylene or Toluene though... And it's illegal in places... Like CA, lol

If one decides to do this, know that Xylene will dry things out so mix it with some Marvel Mystery Oil

Stock block with 500whp it is for me.

Bump, this is a great thread, but I feel there is MUCH MORE info since these posts were made reguarding limits on tq curve, different fuel types, and boost levels with longevity.
