AV - Gas?

[FMP]

Royal Purple boost, brings it up 3,4 numbers.MTBE I think. Also alc treatment I think, have to read the sheet again.

A lot of people run race fuel av gas mix when it is not needed, all they do is kill performance. If you do not have the compression needed for the higher octane no need to run it.

VERY True Dave!!!
The gasoline with the most BTU is cheap azz regular!!!
It's capable of making more power than higher octane fuels however when you reach the threshold of detonation a higher octane fuel will quench the detonation and higher compression or advanced timing engines have to have the higher octane.
The higher the octane, the more additives, the less the gasoline!
Pound for pound cheap regular carries more available power....ie: BTU's!
It's similar an engine's fuel/oil mixture.....with the same jet sizes a 16/1 ratio actually burns leaner inside a cylinder than a 50/1.....more oil, less gas.....more additives, less gas!!!!

Just looked at a can of Klotz booster. They claim up to 10 numbers?

[racervboat]

True willy but you would not run your 260 with 50:1 mix with race fuel let alone 50:1 mix with pump 87?

[WillySteve]

Oh heck no, I've ALWAYS ran what's recomended by the Merc Guys....32/1 on no less than 91 octane, I was just using that as an example.

BTW, I also run 23 degrees timing and 140-45 compression!

[racervboat]

yep that's a safe mix and timing brother.

fmp 10 #s man that's unheard of its all alc might as well convert to methanol hahaha.

[olboatman]

Or ya could use the Klotz Nitro additive(actually nitro-parafin) as I know it works.....we won the 1992 Open Mod drag sled nationals in St John Canada
mixing it with 112 oct race fuel in the 1050 Cat we ran. Be sure to have some BIG jets and cold plugs!!!

Need to read that can again

[WillySteve]

Hell Gary just put it on the bottle and leave the jets alone....Problem Solved!!!! Double yer power....double yer fun!!!!

Thats just what I'm gonna do to my 25 Yammy when I get the Viper completed....and I'm gettin close! Your PM sold me Willy!!!! lol

Spray a 25yami! Can you find a prop or is rpm the goal?

[olboatman]

I"m spinnin a 15p cupped and reworked Proptech on the limiter @ 6K. The prop shaft is 1" below the sponsons (waterline) on my SLT. I want to add the juice and disconnect the limiter with 2 to 4" of pitch. These props have a lot of rake and love riding high! Would kill to break 50 mph as it is a rush @ 42 and want to keep the rig light....about 440 lbs total including myself.

Keep the vest on lol

[olboatman]

Keep the vest on lol

I can't stop laughing!!!!
