but why be limited on pump when you can go so much further on race gas, after you add so much boost it doesent become the issue of whos the better tuner. it just simply isent stable under those pressure conditions ---

My experience with Buick’s = pump gas tune on the edge carries some risk. Racegas adds some cushion with the ability to build more boost. I’ve seen Buick experts get +120 rwhp on a racegas tune using FAST. (no other chnages other than fuel and tune) Street racers don’t check what’s in the tank, I say add some nitromethane and tune away. 🆒 ---

true but for any street car, u cant always stop at any gas station and pick up 105+octane gas. they do have 93 tho if you drive the car alot on the street then tune for 93 only. ---

The things they have to do to get those things to run like that on pump gas don’t exactly make for the most street friendly ride. so just cause it runs on street gas doesn’t mean it’s a street car. so don’t go and think you are going to go do that to your average camarobird or 'stang. ---
