Went up with one of my daughters and picked up some Turbo Blue on Saturday morning. Nice drive through some mountains to get to the Fuel and Feed that carries it. Put it in the cars at a 25% blend and the results were impressive. This is GOOD STUFF. If you have a big block engine, give this a try. It costs me $5.29 a gallon but for an extra $10.00 a tank it's well worth it. It makes

so

. The L34's responded very nicely with it but the L89 really got off with it. One of my other daughters even said she loved the smell from the exhaust once the engine was running. I do believe I am hooked on this stuff now.

Here's a link to the site : http://www.turboblue.com/ . It will direct you to the closest selling dealer to you.

Enjoy~

I think on a stock 427,LS6 or LT1 you are wasting money running straight 115 octane. Mix is probably very sufficient.

Here is a dyno sheet on my L89 that was run last week. Straight 93 octane. Pretty good results for a stocker 396.

Race gas is like Viagra. Unless you really need it, it's not going to help you. Most people when they rebuild these old engines use a Fel-Pro Permatorque head gasket thats twice as thick as the old steel shim head gaskets and that does to tend to knock(pun intended) some compression out of these motors. You wanna put pump gas in your L72. Just put on a set of aluminum heads and Fel-Pro Permatorques and watch how that thick head gasket and aluminum's thermal effiency tames that beast down. Great way to neuter a Rat.

I put together an L72 a few years back just as the factory would have, just to see how it would stack up...I had to remove just the slightest material from the deck/heads to clean 'em up, and when I cc'd it, it still came in at only 10.2:1 compression. I've heard of a similar rebuild on a Berger L72 that came in at 9.8:1 compression. Anyway, I ran a mix of premium and race gas, until the car was really sluggish at the track one night...I went with straight Premium after that and never had a problem. Thing went 12.7s @ 108+ in our heavy car, and coulda went quicker had I knew then what I know now.

Now, our current 12:1 L72 is a different story...
