they use a custom setup for pavement racing.
they look almost like rollerblades hehe.
basically you cant take your winter beater snowmobile to the track....they do quite a bit to have them safe on the 1/4 mile.
at least the one that i talked to that runs up here in edmonton told me so!

The MSRP of a 16 Gallon of 110 is $179.99. I could get it to you for $155 plus shipping.
The MSRP of the 55 gallon Drum is $509.99... i could get it to you for $450.00 plus shipping.
If anyone seriously wanted some. I get UPS cheap... so it wouldn't cost that much actually to ship. It's good stuff.

I don't use 87 on any of my cars, not even my geo metro. One reason, is that I always see better gas mileage out of higher octane and it ends up saving me money. The main reason is that how shitty it burns and leaves allot of carbon in the combustion chamber. I have torn engines apart with comprable miles and same engine and one is ran on 87 and the other on 93 and the 93 engine looks way better and clean. Every engine that we have torn down always looks better on higher octane gas than low octane you can tell right away as soon as you open it up what grade they use.

i run 93 in my g5 the dealer put 87 in and when it ran out i used 93 and the motor felt better with the higher gas after a few more fill ups of 93. so i keep 93 in the G5 and the sunfire gets 87.

Stick with the higher octane, and ALWAYS use top tier gas. Aside from the free tank from the dealer, mine has never had anything but 93 in it. And I amd the mistake of running a tank of exxon in it once. KILLED my gas mileage for that tank. I stick with shell Vpower all the time, no problems.
Oh, and for those who think the top tier bit is a crock, its not. A friend of mine with a 2.4 Ion, just like the SS/NA, was running 87 and el cheapo stations like kangaroo and what not. He just had to have his injectors replaced. They were fouling up extremely fast. He only has 11k miles on his. Now he runs 93 only.

such a noob, I know
I've been putting 91 in my SS(not SC) since I emptied the first tank. I noticed better response during acceleration , especially at higher speeds, than on that first tank.
I swear the passing gear on this thing activates an super secret antigravity device that picks your vehicle up off the road, and moves it ahead of all traffic. My girlfriend was following in her V6 mustang on the interstate. I felt like opening her up( THE CAR...pervs) around 65.
By the time I realized she was gone, it was too late. I drove at 50mph for five minutes before she caught up. She was miffed that she couldn't keep up.
I say, go break the bank, spend the extra $.20 per gallon. I spend more than that washing this car 8 times a month.

the SS/SC manual specifically says to run AT LEAST 91 octane fuel. anyone who runs less is stupid. and if your car doesnt require premium fuel (geo metro) your car will suffer by running the higher octane fuel. the 87 isnt there to be cheap gas, its there because most cars are tuned to run on it. the SS/SC is tuned to run on 91 or higher meaning 91-94, not 110 lol. What im saying is..... read the manual, or ask an INTELLIGENT mechanic (not a dealership mechanic) what your motor should use to run best.
