====================================
When you put in race gas, you must have some pump gas in the tank, how much exactly, who knows it's a guess. So your guessing at your octane level. With alky your always tuned to run. If you've gone to the track and put race gas in there, you would have noticed how your tune is always needing tweeking. Where as with alky it's tuned right all the time.

I'm not jealous but don't preach whats not the truth

Oh I forgot, your a mechanic, so what you preach is the truth

The purpose is of this thread is not for people who have no mitsu tech experience or knowledge to come in and question what the topic is about.

What makes you think I don't have any knowledge or tech experience? My daddy didn't buy me my car and fix shit for me.

Oh yea nothing replaces displacement? Tell that to shep who is running 8.4s at over 177mph vs cars that have more displacement with auto trans who are running slower and not making as much power with more stuff. I think it is to be said that a setup tuned pretty much perfect can be better then displacement.[/QUOTE

2.3 all the way

You don't have to drive a car to the gas station with pump gas in it. People who race their cars and use race gas usually use race gas ALL the time so there is never pump gas in the system every. Hence the octane mixture is always the same. Do you think every gas station that has 93octaine uses the exact same gas and it always has the same mixture? I don't think so so there for your mixture would be more likely to be off then if you just used race gas all the time.

I never said I preach the truth or that I was a mechanic. I'm just saying when someone says "I did 10s and it was on pump gas" and leaves out the fact that they also had alky injection on the car it is miss leading. It's like someone saying "I ran 10s on pump gas" and left out the fact they were spray nitrous or what not.

And my technical worth quote was not geared towards you George, so good job for thinking something was intended for you and getting offended when it wasn't even meant for you and it was quoted about someone else totally different. And if what you said about Daddys buying stuff and fixing it was a stab towards me, you could not be any farther then from the truth.

"2.3" all the way is still to be shown. They are making leaps and bounds in the performance world though.

By the way George, Wheres your car? What's it have and how is it doing?
