IMO, no ... not very likely ... BTW, AV Gas is designed to burn best at altitudes of +3,000ft.

is a dallor or 2 a gallon worth blowing up a motor?

[TRUMP TIGHT]

How about 91 and EVERCLEAR?:idea:

i haven't swapped pullies yet,but,just wanted to think ahead,just wondering if someone out there had don this and had a proven method.av gas is 3.50 at my local air strip.tolulene can be mixed with gasoline to raise the octain substantially.some folks i read about are running a 25tol to 75% mixture and adding marvel with no problems.a 55 gal drum of tolulene is about 230.00 at sherwin williams.just thinking out loud.

Many people seem to think that AV gas is a good way to go for a high compression engine. That is not true at all. It will not make any more power; it will actually hurt power when compared to similar racing gasolines.
Aviation fuels were designed for aviation use.
The popular choice is Avgas100LL, which stands for 100 octane low lead. It has 2 grams of lead per gallon instead of the normal 8-10 grams in racing gasolines. It also has a high level of aromatics, which generally cause poor throttle response ... doesn't have that crisp response.
The other choice is Avgas100/130, which has 4 grams of lead per gallon. It is better than Avgas100LL, but still not as good as racing gasoline.
Gasoline designed for racing will have a specific gravity of about 0.75. The best you’ll find in avgas will be about 0.70 if you’re lucky.
If you want the most power from your engine, you’ll need to use a fuel that was designed for that application. In our cases AV gas is not.
my .02 for what it's worth ... I am Southern California's Torco Distributor so I am a little biased ... but don't advise AV gas at all.

thanx busby,i'll prolly bite the bullet when it comes time,but this is making for some interesting reading right now.how much is a gallon of 110 race fuel selling for now?

Busby, what do you think of the Mach Series Accelerator just for gaining a few points?

You can call Eastern Race Fuels @ 1-866-429-2849 to find a local Torco distributor, you are near Houston ... so there should be a distributor close. To quote prices for Texas would be unfair ... their final destination charges might be different than here in California, so I'm sure that their costs would be different. But with that said ... currently retail here in CA is about $8.30/gallon.

Accelerator works ... for real. It has the right parifins and tolulenes in it to mix w/ pump gas. It's dyno tested and proven. It will raise your fuel octane rating as much as 14 points (depending on how much of the concentrate you use per gallon), it will take 91 octane to 105 if you mix one quart to 5 gallons. Of course if you mix it with more pump gas ... it will dilute it more and the final octane will come down.
Good luck guys ...

Some of the superstock guys run the mix your talking about Marty. I will call a buddy tomorrow and ask him what is the mixture.

thanx a million,that's what i was hoping someone would say.

I have seen a few ss racers use this mix. I have never tried it but they swear by it. I have also heard that using tolulene will lower egt temps.

Hey check out Max Race Fuel Additive from Price Chemical Company. I think you will be very impressed. They have a web site.

[atxwrangler]

going to check it out!

[texas-19]

Marty,
I can get 110 sunoco for $300.00 per barrel,that comes out to $5.45 per gln.
If mixing don't work out let me know,he may sell it cheaper if i buy more than 1 barrel.

[atxwrangler]

hey mike.how are ya?thats not as bad as i expected,i was under the impression it would be 8 bucks per gallon.i'm gonna run it like this for a little while,and let the motor get settled,before i make any changes,but i do already have a 1 to 1 pulley.the old ford ran great this weekend!saweeet

[texas-19]

Marty,doing good over here,glad to here your boats runnin good.
I priced 110 in Houston and it was around $7.00.This guy is from the waco area but delivers to our area when he gets enough orders.I'm gonna run pump gas the rest of this season but may step it up next year.I'll get a hold of you when i do,or i'll give you this guys number if you want.

[atxwrangler]

cool!please do!
