High compression for race fuels worth it?


Recommended Posts

Pump gas to race gas gains are not minimal.

What you gain overall from increasing compression and timing and running race gas is a huge increase in power from top to bottom.

What does a pump gas 4mm Serval make, 85HP?

My race gas 4mm Serval is at 100. 15HP is a very noticeable difference. You will especially feel it when you’re in the trails, where you need that grunt down low. The compression will shine there.

There’s a fine line in compression for a drag motor. Yes, you want that RPM, but you also want the torque to get you out of the hole.
Fuck. This is very accurate and true. You can gain a lot playing with fuels.

There is definitely a fine line with compression and timing. The purpose is to get the motor to come alive faster and get up to the RPM’s. However to much timing and compression and it fights itself and can’t carry RPM to make power.  I’ve ran so many set ups between short tracks and 1/2 mile courses trying to find the sweet spot and I’d say motors cranking 160-170psi tend to be the sweet spot. It’s enough to wake a motor up, but everything is nice and happy up top in the RPM’s. I’ve still got a few old 4mils that I alternate depending on what I wanna ride, but admittedly my old short track 12 port passion cylinders with 190psi are a fucking blast on the tight tracks.

do you still have that motor.
