you could race him from a dig on the track and it'd be pretty close.

What's race fuel going to do for you?
HELP!

Anything helps man. And w/ 105 octane in my vr-4 instead of 92, I cut down @ 13.31 to a 13.14 the next day at the same time in same conditions.

Yep, finally had the chance to get her down there. Not as late in the year as I wanted, still pretty warm (90*) but I got something recorded.

My best was a 12.61@112.71 w/ a 2.08 60'.

Not too bad, and it was fun.

Whatchya think??
good times man!!! are you gonna do the pulley swap?

Only if you increase the boost or timing, if you leave it where it is you will no gain from race fuel.

now he should definately get the pulley and chip so race fuel will help him out significately.
