Are you sure you guys want to be running high-test (94+) gas in your cars? It doesn't really help unless you are:
A. Running a really high compression 11.5:1 or higher.
B. SC, turbo, or NOS
Running high-test gas may actually slow you down. Why? High octane technically means a fuel's resistance to burn. High compression motors (10:1+) need 90-92 octane because of the increased heat generated by the compression. The high octane is more resistant to burn which means it won't detonate as easily. Forced induction and NOS make HUGE compression therefore high-test gas is needed. Running high-test in a NA motor is pretty much worthless and chances are you are getting a worse combustion cycles (ie less power). A motor runs best when the fuel is right on the verge of detonation. Running high-test takes the motor out of this efficent cycle. BTW, high-test can actually contain lead (to increase octane) and you will quickly burn out your O2 sensors and cat. Merlin, does this sound familiar? I always laugh when I see the NA Honda guys pull up and fill with high-test at the track. All they are doing is slowing themselves down. Just telling you guys my experiences.
BTW, I'll see you guys at KCIR this weekend. I pray none of you loose a differential because KCIR is the only surface I ever experience axle-hop with my car.
