Works good and is reasonable. You can run CAM 2 or VP but not necessary. Jack Podell (574)232-6430.

I just filled my car up for the winter, we have Turbo Blue 110 Octane leaded at the pump, my car just loves it. Just about passed out when I saw the price it went to recently $5.19 a gallon, so I guess if you don't mind the price drive away!!

Jack, Why don't you mix it with 93 octane. You don't need 110 octane. Its not a race car is it?

I have tried various additives etc. with marginal success. Most of them help slightly, and in a pinch you can add some and get to where you are going, driving carefully. If you want to tune and time a hi-compression car correctly, you have to buy race fuel. The engine will run stronger and cooler, not to mention the grin on your face will be bigger. Buy a 55 gal. drum and use all summer.

Mix Turbo Blue or any other race fuel 110-112 with 93 and just keep your foot out of it or listen to your engine when you do put your foot in it..

I don't know about every track but most tracks here in Arizona won't let you fuel directly into a street car. have to purchase fuel in a gas can then you can do what you want with it.. sounds like the feds to me but can't vouch for any other tracks..

My 70 LT-1 is built with pistons designed to produce 11 to 1 with 64 cc chambers.
Stock solid cam set at .024 and .026 lash My decks were cut to clean up to parallel, about 7 thou. I used head gaskets with a .039 compressed thickness. Before I assembled heads, they were cylinder matched and laid back,and smoothed to eliminate hot spots. After that the chambers measured 61 to 61.5 cc. I had hardened exhaust seats installed. So far I have had no problem running 93 octane pump fuel. Originally I fired it on 100 octane av gas, but found it ran cooler and still without detonation on unleaded 93. Mark.
