I love to get racing fuel for my offroading luckily I live near a drag strip

 

Cool story.

Moved to Chat.

 

waste of money your actually making less power with higher octane, unless ur running about 13:1 + compression

 

Shhh....

 

what you like watchin people waste money

 

You run the risk of ruining the catalytic converter by running too high of an octane rating. The higher octane fuel burns slower and you will actually dump unburned fuel into the exhaust. Waste of money and it could be damaging too.

 

There a new engine in engine in there

 

it would have 2 have highcomp pistons and a decked block atleast id think a big cam and some head work also 2 make it worth while

 

It's not about new... Higher octane fuel burns cooler and makes less fire than lower octane. Racing fuel is for engines with absurdly high compression numbers. It's purpose is to burn cooler for less fuel ping. The compression ratio may increase the horsepower of a motor... but the race fuel actually lowers it.

 

When it was put in they said I could use the high octane and it is set up for more torque

 

High octane is only for high compression motors to reduce pre-ignition. So anything lower than ~9.4:1 ratio is fine with regular 87. Some do run alittle higher octane if they have issues with engine knock
