Can you mix race gas with pump gas?
Yes, you can mix any of our race fuels. But remember – if your engine needs an unleaded fuel, you don’t want to mix leaded with unleaded. Doing so would make a leaded fuel which could still damage oxygen sensors and catalytic converters. The percentage of the 100 octane fuel in the mix is 2/5 = 0.40 ( 40%).
What is the best gas for racing?
Lead is used in racing fuels because it’s a very effective octane booster. As a matter of fact, leaded fuels are often credited for allowing higher compression, higher efficiency engines in World War II era aircraft. Increased power made some WWII airplanes like the P-51 Mustang legendary performers!
Does race gas make more power?
Both the RON and MON measurements are attained by testing fuel on a laboratory engine. Octane rating is not a measure of the energy in the fuel. High octane fuel doesn’t burn hotter, doesn’t create more power by itself, doesn’t clean up your engine and won’t increase fuel economy.
What is the octane of racing fuel?
Sunoco® Standard™ is a 110 octane leaded race fuel that is used in many forms of motorsports.
Why does race fuel smell so good?
There’s BUTANE dissolved in race gas, among about 100 other chemicals. The great smell of the 76 gas that Nascar used to use was due to the amount of butane.
How much HP can race gas add?
Most race tunes run timing levels in the 23-24 degree range. All applications are different but generally an increase in a degree of timing will result in 5 to 6 RWHP.
Can I put 110 octane in my truck?
High octane race fuel is sort of the same way. So, the moral of the story is; unless you have at least 12:1 compression (of more), do not run any 110 octane or higher race gas in it or you’ll go slower.
What happens when you mix race gas with gasoline?
RACE GAS has been tested and proven to increase the octane of pump gas to as high as 100 to 105 AKI, (R+M/2), when blended with gasoline as specified in our blend chart. Second, other products on the market only increase the octane. RACE GAS also raises the chemical / BTU energy of base fuel to equal that of racing fuel.
What’s the difference between race gas and race gas ultra?
RACE GAS ULTRA is a much different formula than original RACE GAS. “In testing we found the requirements of very high compression engines were different than engines with lower compression or lower boost.
Can you mix unleaded fuel with race fuel?
The answer to #1 is easy. Yes, you can mix any of our race fuels. But remember – if your engine needs an unleaded fuel, you don’t want to mix leaded with unleaded. Doing so would make a leaded fuel which could still damage oxygen sensors and catalytic converters.
How much does 100 octane race gas cost?
I have to go to my local race track to get 96 octane and it is $8/gallon. 100 octane is about $10/gallon. I use the recommended two ounces per gallon of 91 to make around 96-98 octane.
