    you use pump gas in the dyno sessions and you use race gas on the track right?

    what's the octane rating of the pump gas?

    and what's the octane rating of the race gas you use?

    back then we use race gas on both dyno sessions & race events (specially back when we are doing Land Speed Racing). we used to use A8C race fuel from ERC Racing Fuels (costs $12.99 per gallon!) and it is rated * 120 octane . but now, we use Ethanol for fuel. we use E85 pump gas from Chevron (only $2.99 per gallon) and it is rated * 110 octane.

    anywayz, the way our car is tuned right now, we make almost the same horsepower figures by using E85 pump gas compared to using A8C (or C16) race fuel. the only difference is that we consume twice the amount of fuel when we are using E85, compared to A8C or C16.
