US Mile prep suggestions

Where in 5th RPM wise?

I'm at 5700 RPM at 215 MPH
5800 RPM = 220 MPH
5900 RPM = 223 MPH
6000 RPM = 227 MPH


With same set up and 2.73 crossing in 4th
6800 RPM = 211 MPH
6900 RPM = 217 MPH
7000 RPM = 221 MPH
7100 RPM = 224 MPH

A built engine will go all the way to 7000 RPM before needing to shift. Also keep in mind these speeds are with the 315/40/19 Hoosier R7 and a Magnum XL 2.66 first gear

Do these events ALWAYS have race gas available at the track or do I need to find some way to bring my own with me?

Both in which I participated had it available, but only IF you pre-ordered it.

Him, that blows. I was hoping only bring one vehicle. Thanks for the info.

Doesn't hurt to check with the vendor when you're there. I sold 5 gallons of fuel I had preordered. Cars break and people don't show. I'm sure they pack a few extra cans too.

I have purchased 5 gal jugs of VP at the Texas Mile without pre-ordering. It's just a crap shot on if they have extra.

Why would you need 2 vehicles? Order it before, pick it up and use at event? Know anyone else going that can bring fuel if pre-order not an option?
You don't have excessive mods, Torco and pump 93 should be fine.
My datalog looked great until the oil pump gears sh!t the bed.
I was using pump/Torco with at least 755rwhp.

I intend to try and pre-order if I can. Not really sure if anyone from my car club will be joining be yet. People always SAY they're going to go to all kinds of things, lol. My race gas tune from Van/Lund is what Van told me to run. I want to make sure I'm safe in the octane department if I'm going to do that.

Yup, no harm in that either as a last resort. Thanks!
