91octane.growing up > race gas 101

[burnnxs]

there isnt really a concrete question im really ignorant when it comes to this exept that the higher octane will help with knock if that is all to it then i guess im not !
i know it all depends on the tune im trying to get rules to go by so when i switch to race gas ill know what to shoot for ...i want any type of tip/ advice from people that had experience with this fuel before

these are my current mods:1g i think im pretty cover here
sbr hybrid 20g ,Greddy type rs bov ,extreme trubo systems 7" street fmic , tubular exhaust manifold , dejon tool dumper downpipe cat back And oval ss muffler w/magnaflow cat, walbro 255lp , fic 650 injectors ,Aeromotive afpr w/ gauge, safc neo ,keydiver chip stage 3, manual boost controller , pocket logger ,2g maf wiseco 8.3.1 pistons

p.s 91 octane is as good as gets around here ,utah pride ! im runnig 19 now w no knock ....(i still feel that im new to tuning even do i got my beast under controll)

I would tune with the gas you would normaly drive with. When at the track with higher octane progressivly up your boost and make corrections if you like once you start to see knock.

Its kind of hard to say since every car is different. But with your mods and at 19psi with no knock right now I would say so where in the 25-28 possably. Like I said its hard to say and that is just a guess from me. I was running 111 octane on my car at just about 30psi with no knock but that is also 10 octane higher than what you will be running.

But with all that said. Try for 23 at first and then work your way up from there.

Oh, no. We don't hate it. We just don't tolerate it.

You can't tune by typing.
