Dfitz- Since you do not like the thought of race gas how about a additive to boost octane. Torrco is a product that will raise your octane. You will not find it on the shelf at auto part stores but can order direct from them. Works great and i think it runs 12.95 a can. It has the mixing instructions on the back. That way you only mix what you need.

 

14, Is the Klotz Nitro stuff octane booster also?

 

It's not that I don't like race fuel I just didn't to mess with it. I have three other quads and I didn't want have different gas for them. But again the more I think about it the better it sounds. I pmed Bob about the stock carb mods, no answer yet, I guess I'll call. Thanks for the info.

 

Wow thats a little higher than my area. I guess the farther you go away from Sacramento the more it gets in California. I pay 4.50 or 4.25 Unical 110. I wouldnt run anything less.

 

RaptorOwner, I live real close to Sacramento and I pay $4.49 per gal for 76 unleaded @ the pump.

 

Dang it seems like a few months back when I went to Lake Tahoe the fuel got cheap as I went north. I must have been hitting the good spots. Was that 110 octane?

 

lowbowtie- I do not think klotz will up the octane like torrco will. On the back of the torrco can it tells you how to mix 91-93 octane fuel to 100, 104 and 107 octane. Most of the stuff at auto parts stores that claims to raise octane 3 to 4 points is more like 93.4 and 93.3 and is a joke. Do a search on torrco and read it. I do not use it any longer but i did for a long time in my 13-1 motor.

 

I just stopped by the 76 station by my house on the way home and they're getting $6 a gallon for 100 and 110.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

 

sixsixT - See if you have a race car performance shop near you. Thats where I get mine and maybe the difference in price. Only because the sell the most of it.

 

Yeah I'll be looking around for sure at that price, VP may be the same or a little cheaper and a better fuel.
