Congrats. Be safe and have fun wth it..... and get some numbers...

 

I'm very excited for you, Mario. Seriously.

Can't wait to meet up at the track later this year.

 

Is 10.85 @ 135 possible?

 

I went 10.65 @ 136 in my old car at 580-600 rwhp at 1.3 BAR (depending on the dyno I used), essentially the same 18g setup that you have, RWD conversion, full-weight (minus the 70 lbs saved from going RWD), DRs, 70 degree temps.

So yes, I think at least 10.85 @ 135.

 

I had to go in to the office today, but before I did, I woke up early and I ran the fuel tank down to less that a quarter of tank (1/8) and filled her up with 100 octane. I think the only thing I felt was that the acceleration was smoother. I did see a spike of 1.4 bar at the top of 4th (120 plus mph). Was it the gas? I've been told that it takes a couple of tanks of fuel for the engine to experience a benefit. Regardless, I feel better filing her up with 100 octane. That's all that will be in that tank from now on.

 

It will adjust within a few hard pulls... not a few tanks of expensive gas ....

 

Awesome Mario, glad to hear you're enjoying it....I should be in a 996TT shortly, I will be sure to set us up some track events at MIR.

 

9Eleven, where is this station at; I too am in Maryland?

 

Mario please post the address of the gas or PM with the address.

Thanks!!!

 

Sunoco's web site has the locations of which stations in the country sell
260 GT100 lead-free, ethanol-free racing gasoline.

go to Sunoco.com
under "consumer products", click on "Race Fuels"
put your cursor on "Race Fuels" at the left side of the page
then click on "Sunoco 260 GT 100 locations"

You're lucky if they sell any in your area!

 

The bottom one in Dunkirk, Maryland is approximately 11 miles from my house. Induktion Motorsports in Hanover, Maryland doesn't sell it anymore.

Here are the locations in Virgina.

Thanks for the info - I just found one here just south of downtown San Jose.

Anyone know or have comparison info between:

• Sunoco 100
• Union 76 100
• VP 100

VP is more expensive (~$1.00/gal) than the Union 76 - don't have cost info on the Sunoco product.

Any better/worse than the others?

 

I think the main difference is that Sunoco GT260 is available from the pump right to your car. I don't think Union 76 is available in the mid-atlantic. I found some good information about octane, AFRs and ignition timimg.

Thanks, all these are available at the pump here in the SF Bay area. I want to ensure I'm getting the best fuel out of these three.

I'll check out the link - thanks.

 

Thanks for posting the links. I have to go and get some in the tank now. What are you paying for the GT280 per gallon?
