Blue Duece Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 yes the higher octane fuel doesnt leave the deposits pump fuel does and might prolong the life of your top end.....andyour bike will run better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2004LEBanshee Posted December 12, 2003 Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 For what ever reason I thought I heard the race gas can hurt a stock engine. Is this not true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Duece Posted December 12, 2003 Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 race gas is unleaded just like the stuff at the pump......the octane is higher, and there are no govermental additives......ive never heard of better fuel hurting a motor, does it screw your car up when you run 93 or 91 over the cheap 87?.......

Less octane fuel is more explosive. I find most race fuel contains lead after looking around, but don't quote me on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Duece Posted December 12, 2003 Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 all the stuff here in cali is unleaded you needed a additive if you have an ol car and need leaded.....ive never noticed a loss of power with 110 which is actually 108, we used to get 98 at the pump.....thats intresting though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mike NY Posted December 12, 2003 Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 Blue Deuce, The highest Sunoco unleaded race gas is 104 octane. All Sunoco race gas above that is leaded. http://www.racegas.com/fuelspecs/default.asp Donuts, you will not benefit from the higher octane on a stock motor. Higher octane has a slower burn rate and if your motor doesn't warrant the use of high octane, it will slow you down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dognuts Posted December 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 would it be safe to run klotz 32 to 1 on a new motor or 40 to 1?????????????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGSAL Posted December 12, 2003 Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 dude........ I do NOT see how race fuel will slow you down. Here's my testimony... I ran race fuel once this past thanksgiving at Glamis... this was only because I was running outta gas and had money in my pocket to buy some gas from some guys camped five miles away from my camp. Now, I hit them up and all they had was race gas that they were running in their banshees. I don't know what it was that was in there, but the guy said, this gas is the shit........... Now, I pay him, fill up and take off.... we're flying through the dunes back to camp and I thought I could feel the power gain when I would open the throttle up on the long straightaways... when we got back to camp my buddy tells me.... "dude, you need to keep running whatever that guys gave you" I said "why?" .. then he says, " before you got that stuff, I could easily catch up to you on the straightaways, but now I'm really struggling to catch you".... even HE noticed the difference and he wasn't even riding my bike......... RACE FUEL DOES NOT SLOW YOU DOWN........ oh yeah... I ride a 2002 banshee ALL STOCK with FMF Fatty's and K/N filter.... my honest testimony..
