fuel?

Ok so im going to befully bolted within the week (ic, piping, dp, exh,int,bpv,clutch,and flywheel. I've ordered everything this week so hopefully I'll have everything so I can go at it next weekend. My goal is 350 and I'm not sure on what fuel to use. I live in Ontario and theres no E85 but I can get endless amounts of 110 or meth for free. Which one would be best? Race gas smells really bad as well so im trying to avoid it but if i have to i will. Nothing higher than 110. i will also be going with hptuners. Which one?

you can PROBABLY make close to 350 on 91oct with a good HP Tune, Im fully bolted in Seattle, WA making 330whp/340wtq on 23psi on a Conservative Trifecta tune

I'll pay all shipping cost if you send me gallons of Methanol!

I would use meth injection AND the 110 octane. Get those timing tables up to 22 degrees up top and feel the power!

Not picking a fight but I don't see that being possible on 91 safely.

I think 110 is leaded so not something you should run constantly. Meth FTW.

On 91? It can be done but it's a grenade waiting to happen.

Matt hits the 400tq mark because he spikes and doesn't steady ramp. Tq is somthing easy to maintain... Which Tq is great, but having a high boost spike is not a smart thing to do....

Meth is cheap by the way, I pay 219 Canadian dollars per barrel. I buy a lot because one of my costomers races in the csra and I give him fuel and other things and he gives me open purchase orders that I fill in the blanks haha.

And 330+ on a gasoline tune is going to be a aggressive tune . Reason why is typified timing, boost, and afe need to be leaned out to get to this whp. Unless it was a happy dyno. So safety within a gasoline tune with the ko4 is like 22-23 with a steady ramp to 24-25 and a Decel of 23-24 . And timing midrange of 6-10 and top end 15-16*. safetey meaning reliability. You can make a car do more, but to each is own. Reliability is a concern
