who all here uses high ocatane gas? if you so does it give it a difference what kind of diference?? any people put high octane in a blaster how dooes it do ?? thanks

 

you are supposed to run 93 in a blaster higher octane will not help you at all the only thing octane is is the fuels resistance to burn
you woud need to run race gas if you had a high compresion engine but a stock blaster needs 93 nothing more nothing less
the only thing high octane is good for if you dont need it is a little more $ out of your pocket

 

We run high octane fuel in my son's Blaster, but do so since we have shaved and recut the combustion chamber. The Blaster now has about 170 psi compression.

We can, and do, still run pump 93 gas. However, since it is an air cooled motor, and heat becomes an issue for us since my son races, we normally run 101 octane fuel. We also do this since we are pushing the envelope in terms of compression (any higher and we'd need more octane for sure) for an air cooled motor.

Higher octane does not necessarily equate to more HP, but merely indicates a fuels resistance to detonation and pre-ignition. There are many factors in choosing a fuel, such as specific gravity, distillation curve, leaded vs. unleaded, burn speed, and octane. All are important, but we tend to focus on the octane since we do not want this to occur. The first thing in choosing a fuel is to satisfy the engine's octane requirements, then focus on the other characteristics.

But in getting back to your question, running race fuel in your Blaster will not produce any significant gains in power. It will put a dent in your wallet, though.
