running high octane gas
hey guys i have a local sunoco who sells race gas they sell
Race Gas 110 Octant
Avgas 100 Octant
and your normal everyday gases now question is what happens if i ran pure race gas ??? remember its leaded and has high octane and/or av gas its all high octant but has semi-lead???? my bro just replaced the sparkplug on his car put some race gas in it and he thinks he burnt the plugs already (within a week period) could this be true??? any ideas running it on a Streetported FC???

If it's an N/A regardless of porting, you don't need anything higher than 87. On a turbo car it's only useful for turning up the boost to prevent pre-ignition of the gas caused by excess heat/etc. Thus, if you don't ever turn your boost up on your turbo, it's not needed.

no no i have an 88 TurboII boosting about 16psi on stock turbo and my brother has a 93 Rx7 boosting 13psi he put some race gas cause he was gonna race a hooked up subaru and after a couple of runs the car start spuddering at higher rpms were thinking that maybe the race gas burned the plugs??? i would only put race gas maybe when i go to the track or once in a blew moon for the motor is it good for the motor or what???
