That was on 91 so once i get my race gas tune i am hoping to be in the 12.4-12.5 range i just need to get that launch down. Thanks for readinf guys and comment me back and let me know what you think.
Race gas will do nothing for performance. Zero. All it will do is prevent detonation. Good luck though. Nice runs!

well idk about that. When I and got my car tuned and once we threw race gas in and he made the race gas tune i had 11 more horsepower so it worked for me. He must have advanced the timing because i was using race gas but i got more power and that can equal faster times

the higher octane of race gas allows you to make adjustments to the tune ( such as timing )
so the gas don't give you more power , it just lets you b more aggressive with the tune

Ah hah! Thats the magical word that I didn't see. Im quite familiar with race gas. Lol. I understood that you were just going to toss race gas and you believed it was going to give you power. Me ---> to me..


If you toss race gas in you can advance the timing more and get away with a more aggressive tune. I think you can achieve your goal. Its in no way out of the question.
