Race Gas???

**oleblue** · 07-02-2009, 06:05 PM

Anyone know were I can get some race gas above 100oct without lead in it? I cant find anywhere around me without lead in it. I cant run it with lead because it will damage my o2 sencers and wastegate.

**Motivation** · 07-02-2009, 06:23 PM

A mile from my house... Which is about a 2-3 hour drive for you. lol

Look around at some local performance shops, or PM Fisher... I am sure he would know, I believe he stays close to your way too. Not sure on that though.

**Kason23** · 07-02-2009, 06:29 PM

I can get it blue. its about 10 minutes away from me. In dallas there is a store that sells VP 110 for 8$ a gallon. I usually take 3 gallons to the track

**03RCode** · 07-02-2009, 07:05 PM

Bearden Oil Company in Eastman is where I get mine from.

Find a sunoco gas station that has it at the pump.

**oleblue** · 07-02-2009, 09:40 PM

Everywhere that I go local says that you cant get race gas over 100 octane without lead but I new you could cause I have seen people with it before at the track a while back.

i understand about your o2 sensors but it wont hurt your wastgate at all

**AE86Raptor** · 07-02-2009, 10:07 PM

If you do go to a Sunoco make sure it isn't leaded. There is a Chevron up here that sells Sunoco 110, but the 110 is a leaded fuel.

**03RCode** · 07-02-2009, 10:09 PM

Most unleaded race gases are under 100 octane. Turbo Blue Unleaded Plus is 99 octane and its the closest I can think of right off. In my race quad I run Turbo Blue Unleaded 95 octane, 3.5% oxygen and love it.

**NevrNufTorq** · 07-02-2009, 10:34 PM

they do make 110 unleaded and sell it at some places. i just dont know of any around me, they only sell 110 leaded. there's 2 places in anniston that sell it unleaded at the pump and 1 where we get off to go to steele near bham that has it too. be nice if we lived over there, dang AL folks got it made

**Member31410** · 07-02-2009, 11:13 PM

VP Racing MS109

Port City Racing South in Buford usually has this fuel in stock.

**ueyedgr8tness** · 07-02-2009, 11:30 PM

Damn member^ nice seeing your car on the road still running good after all those pulls u have had on it

Also i got to chevron in winder to get my 110 its like 8.99 i think?

**Member31410** · 07-02-2009, 11:34 PM

^^ Werd. I have 150K miles on the Neon now and it's still trapping 117+ like back in 2005. BTW, the VP 110 at that Chevron in Winder is leaded.

exit 158 ashville/pell city exit on i-20....at the exxon as soon as you get off and turn right. i think its track tech 114....leaded

If you have the fuel system capacity u can do e85

**Kason23** · 07-03-2009, 08:32 AM

Damn they run E85 also huh.. to bad I cant get it close by or I would prob switch over. Its easy to do in our cars just need bigger injectors of course..

Thanks for the info! REPS

you can get the e85 here at the pump

**Kason23** · 07-03-2009, 09:19 AM

Not in Rockmart lol.. I bet no one here has heard of it

**NevrNufTorq** · 07-03-2009, 09:31 AM

cablebandit can tell you where. i'm gonna start goin there and filling up an empty drum of racefuel

cable runs it on the street now and has really put alot of time putting it thru its paces on the street under some good boost on his car so i'm gonna use it on the street also!!!!! $2.90/gal or something alot better than $7.50/gal for 110 unless i go to cartersville and get a barrel it's $4.75

but $2.90 is still alot cheaper

I have a Tial 38mm wastegate and when I bought it it had a big sticker on it that said unleaded fuels only if I wanted to run leaded fuels that I would have to get a different kind of valve what ever that thing is called that opens in the wastegate that looks like a big valve. They said the lead would stick to it and make it were it would not work right.

oh, and i think you can google e85 at the pump locations or something to find out where all has e85 at the pump. think jerry said it's 30% more fuel to run it in your fuel system. and he's found it to be very comparable to c16 even though it's only like 108 octane or something. his car is running aound 800+whp on the street using the stuff!!! gotta love that

**oleblue** · 07-03-2009, 10:15 AM

Kason23 you gonna hit steele up tonight i'm thinking about it.

Yea seems I will need around 1000cc injectors just to run 400-500whp on e85 BUT i HEARD ITS SO MUCH BETTER!!!! If I could indeed find a station close by the house I would switch for sure

And yea i will be at steele Im gonna swing by and get some 114 to go in the car. I got my car to run on PCM control now its awesome!

gl

maybe it will cool off and you can get a new best! glad you got your new pcm control working, hopefully it'll make a world of difference

if you ever decide to change injectors to run the e85 lmk i have an extra barrel you can have to store it in

**Kason23** · 07-03-2009, 11:41 AM

WOW I didnt know there was two stations in douglasville and one in Breman that carrys E85. Just need one in Rockmart and im set.

If you're running leaded gas full time then it can be a problem, if you're only using it when you go to the track every once in a while then it shouldn't be an issue.

"The TiAL 38mm is the only wastegate with the option to choose the valve stem's protective coating. To keep the overall cost of the unit down, the choice was left to the customer. Lead Oxide which is present only when burning leaded fuels is corrosive to the Black coating on the Street valve's stem. Extended use of leaded fuel will cause performance problems and unreliable valve actuation.

The Silver coating on the Race valve stem is resistant to the corrosive effects of Lead Oxide. Similarly works well with unleaded fuel. The Racing valve is available for an additional charge."

im moving back out not to far from your area at the end of the month can't wait man mabye we can hit the track some this mid summer

**Incontt** · 07-04-2009, 10:31 AM

im only running about 700hp on the street right now. I dont think i have the fuel system to turn it up on e85 but it IS awesome stuff.....2.35 a gallon

My fuel economy has dropped a little with it but i havent changed any timing for it as you are supposed to increase timing a little. on JUST e85 it feels like 93+methanol
