Bingo.... turn up your boost but, your going to make most of your power with a more aggressive timing map... before you go to the track put the same mix your going to use @ the track... slap a wide-band on ..... strap it to a dyno and TUNE... there is a chance if you run very high octane fuel and do not tune for it you can make less power.

you do not want to run any jet fuel .....jp4 , jp5 , jp8 , jetA , ECT. they are more diesil related then , you can run them in older diesil trucks , burt they lack some of the lubrication and the flashpoint is lower , 100 octane low lead avgass on the other habd should be able to run in a car , I have not done it yet but I have access to it ...

I'd not raise the boost until you land a wideband in your dashboard

i trust in jwt lol

just 2psi to get 10 again

when you came to mochis, the car start runing 10psi after we change the gas filter remember? then i closed the bc to get 8psi for dayli drive.

today maybe i´ll raise the boost maybe not, i like how it feels at 8psi. and at the crapy track at 10psi i´ll only spin the tires

Yes but, I believe there are two ways to rate(calculate) the octane... Do you know what way they rate it?
