aviation gas in raptor?
You'll notice who wrote the article. Someone who sells race gas.....
I an speaking from EXPERIENCE, not from what I've heard or read.
Yes, it can cause a lazy throttle response, but a timing advance takes care of that right away.
I would rather spend 2.35/gallon for Av-gas than to spend 5.50 or more/gallon for Race fuel that will not give me (in my riding situations) any better performance.
Like I said, it was also what my motor builder recommended, and HE used to run race fuel!
He has no special interest in either side, and therefore, I respect his opinion.
Like I said, EXPERIENCE using the product.
I know I'll probably get flamed now, but I speak what I know to be true from my own experience. Not what I've read or heard.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Alright well it sounds liek you know what you guys are talkin about here so im not going to run it. The reason i was askin is becuase we have some for our 250r and i thought it was pretty much the same as race fuel so i wanted to try it BUT I GUESS NOT ANYMORE. thanks for warning me about it. 2fun - the only thing is you run it in your 250r, like we do, but i was wondering about it for my raptor.

If you going to the dune this weekend you can buy the race gas in Reedsport where NAPA is and I think they are selling around 3.85 a gallon that what I pay for back in Aug. Still cheap there instead here..... Have fun.
