Ive searched for days, dont even try linking me to the race gas thread, Ive asked twice and it hasnt even been viewed. Im located in Ft drum/carthage the closest place I’ve found is Jacobs motorsports in Utica, which is 70 miles away. there has to be Somewhere closer than that. Any help is appreciated. TIA

thank you but I dont need fuel advice from a guy with a stock SR swap in a 240. Pro racing fuels doesnt even make a fuel that is 117 octane, the reid vapor pressure is higher than c16 and it has a lighter specific gravity. If I wanted a fuel that is sub par to c16 I would buy Sunoco.

That doesnt make him any less wrong. If I put pro racing fuel in my car its going to kill it, I would also be willing to bet that his 7 second car is not running on gasoline.
Why would I want to switch fuels when the fuel Im using can max the turbo and injectors that I have? If I were going to switch to anything I would go to ethanol, but with my 5 gallon fuel cell I would have the range of an electric car.
On top of the pro racing fuels not having octane as high as c16, Pro racing fuels are unleaded, and c16 is leaded. Its comparing apples to oranges. I could see the recommendation if I was running meth, but unfortunately that is not an option in the classes I race in.

it really had nothing to do with if he was wrong on the fuel for your setup. it was you made it seem like he was a newb cause he has a 240 with a sr. like he has no clue what he was talking about . you sounded like a stuck up dick head really

Guy asks for a specific type of fuel and everyone gives suggestions on what he needs to run for his setup :lol:
