Octane boost

[J_dem_Bones]

Now adding Octane boosters to regular gas:
Will this help any or just a waste of money???

 

[chadk01]

Do a search for this........It has been discussed in detail once before. I'm by far no expert, however, I seem to recall that some of the additives in these products are harmful........Rich had some very good info on this during the last thread......

Save your money, buy race gas.

I keep hearing that, even the local Gas Gas dealer says that, but even he can't tell me where to get it. The only place around here I can find it is at the local stock car track, and it costs $15 on practice days just to get into the pits where the pump is. Any suggestions where to look or how to locate race gas?

Your local motorcycle shop should sell it. The Yamaha shop where I got my bikes sells race fuels from several vendors as does the local Honda shop.

North County Yamaha (which is 5 minutes away from my house) sales it for $35 for 5 gallons. Damn that's costly.

How much does it improve?

Finding Race Fuel

#1, try a google search for race fuel.
#2, contact their many 1-800#'s and find a local supplier
#3, if 7$ a gallon is too much...get over it!
I get phillips b37 for 6.25 a gal. delivered.
What is the application?

Generalized, blanket statement. Seemingly implies that simply pouring AvGas into your bike will reap big gains. Not true, even with race gas.:D

Does use of race gas necessitate re-jetting?

race gas locations

Higs4,
Try this to locate some race gas. I went to http://www.cpchem.com/p66race/ and found my local distributor for race gas. He gave me 2 locations locally where I can buy Phillips B32 110 octane race gas for $4.50 a gal in the pump.

If your aim is more performance, most definitely. Otherwise you are just wasting money. Click Eric Gorr's Forward Motion button to the left, and go to his site and click on "Tech Articles". There is a wealth of knowledge there about fuels and many other things.:)

Go here http://www.vpracingfuels.com/ . Go to their map of distribution centers and an e-mail to the closest one should get you a list of local retailers. You would be surprised how easy it is to find race fuel in most parts of the country. :)
