[QUOTE="rotor_powerd, post: 15548432, member: 76391"] It took me a long time to wrap my head around the idea of using race gas. It seemed like a hassle and waste of money, right up until I torched a couple pistons and was into my engine $10,000 to get it back together and get a safer tune up in the car. Race gas didn't seem so expensive after that. Once I realized that I hardly ever drive the car on the street, and that I will never drive it far enough on the street to need to refuel, race gas was a no brainer. $200 or whatever a tank every now and then is a hell of a lot cheaper than having a motor come apart, and you can open up the tuning window and make way more power consistently. Don't take this the wrong way OP, but anyone asking what power numbers they can push to on pump gas is going to get burned sooner or later. I've been there, done that, got the T shirt. If you drive the car often just get two tune ups so you can dump in the good stuff when you want to have fun. [/QUOTE]
