Default Re: 100 octane race gas (kraff)

i have put some 104 in RAT III ..... it has 11 to 1 compression, and it was HOT so it helped prevent detonation...but i would NOT run it all the time, if the car isnt tuned for it, it will not completely combust (burn) and will cause hellacious carbon build up :U

hope that helps

Its not usefull unless you have a highly modified car. On a stock car...may actually decrease HP a bit...and is of no use.
