I purchased it at Ace Auto in HB (Adams and Magnolia). Ask for Bruce (714-964-6426)

FlyingLow is infamous around these parts
Robert, I live in Huntington Beach and get mine at the car wash someone mentioned on Garfield and Beach. It's so much easier pumping it than buying cans. It's also about $2 less a gallon than what you paid. Last time I was there it was $7 something a gallon. Here's a helpful link for you:

I run a 2:1 ratio of Premium Unleaded/100 Octane race gas and the GIAC software loves it! Also, the technician at GMG told me that my mixture of fuel should be at least 80% race fuel to run my GIAC "race" program. Thought you might be interested in that.

Thanks for the info, I will pump from now on. The NB gas station is very close. The ratio of pump to race gas is good information too. Thanks,

yeah but the highest octane at the pump that they can legally sell is 100. 100 octane is ok but the vp 103 and ms 109 are much better fuels. my race file is tuned for 103 octane....

the GIAC race file is meant for 103 octane, it will run on 100 but with less timing...

I mixed 91 with 100 pump gas from the 76 station in Newport Beach ($7.99 per gallon). I had ½ of a tank and topped it off with 100 octane gas. I proceeded to Newport Coast Drive and PCH where every other car is an exotic car and very east to hit 100MPH, safely. I raced a Gallardo, Turbo Porsche and 335 BMW. ALL three were easy kills. There was a slight but notable difference with the 100 octane. I have two 5 gallons of the MS 103 and will wait until I run this tank below ¼ and then add and test it out. Lets hook up around Newport one day during the week.

you should get that SPS unit Revo sells that lets you tweak the timing with race gas. you should see a nice difference.

my cars at a body shop right now due to someone keying it and early next week i am getting a new clutch put in.

we have a dyno day Saturday December 8th in Torrance, CA. i believe we are full as to the cars that can dyno but you can sure come and hang out.

look for the thread: dyno day - who will step up?

You were keyed? That is a bummer. That is why my Turbo never gets parked in a parking lot unless I can see it. I take another car!

My sons fifty B-day is on the 8th or I would have signed up on the first moment it was posted.

I have the Select Plus Porsche which you view the engine data and tweak to get better performance. Neat stuff, just have to learn who to operate and tweak!
