im racing a camero ss tonight, and was thinking of some octain boost just for the hell of it. my car is running rich as u know what lower rpm and around 12 or so at higher rpm. will octain boost make me rich or lean in anyway ? im running vortech sc, headers, test pipes and borla td exhaust. running 93 octain here, it will also be hot as hell. around 90-95 temp.

It will make you run richer. Leaning out will add more power but there is a limit before your motor starts to ping and can't handle it. 93 octane is more than enough. The octane boost will just clog your injectors later down the line. Try running race gas and down a pulley size without knocking if possible. I think you will hang with the Camaro. Good luck.

down a pulley size ? what do you mean by this ? and the ss isn't stock, cam's and one other bolt on, forgot what it was, there will be a video when it's done. so i should put in some race gas ?

Don't bother, Race gas does not provide power on it's own. All it does is allow you to run 1. Higher boost (Not useful on a street supercharger due to the difficultly of swapping pulleys.) 2. A more aggressive timing curve. (which you would have to tune for and have a separate map for the race gas.) or 3. A slightly leaner A/F.

On turbo cars you can throw in some race gas and turn up the boost a few psi for some quick power increases. With a supercharger you need swap out the pulley to a smaller one for the extra boost then swap back for street gas. To much of a pain in the butt.

Good luck,
Gary

I think I need some octane boost because I just got some really cr4ppy gas. I noticed a huge difference in power this morning after getting a full tank of gas last night. I hate it when people sell cr4p gas. Especially with the prices so damn high.

i have an untuned ati procharger..... and y-pipe and i got butt raped by a 2002 camaro z28, i drove perfect and it just whooped my **** in first gear, i had him in a pull around 100 and kept gainin...... but i will race him again when i get tuned and i think i will kick his *** or atleast beat him, the guys at mrc whom installed said that it will be night and day after the tune, one guy used to have an ati and he said after a tune he gained 60 rwhp

wow, got RAPED BAD. but then again it wasn't stock by any means. found out he had 457 wheel hp , oh well, then i got beat again by a turbonetics st, with nothing else, it was 12nv on the board, he beat me pretty bad also. there will be a video of it. i plan on getting the car tuned soon, it's running 9.6 air fuel right now. i hope to god that has something with me getting beat tonight . way to go 12NV, but i do request a rematch if you're ok with that
