Who says the stock block can't do 20psi. HA!

[Boost_Lee]

lol yea, octane booster gives me instant powa!


good fuckin work man. how long do you expect it to hold? are you on stock headbolts!?!

Ive heard good things about matt shue...if its who imthinkin of, He's helped me out on H-T in the past. nice guy

***ATTENTION! MYTH DEBUNKING ALERT!***

Using higher octane gasoline doesn't increase power. It simply reduces the chance of detonation at higher compression ratios or higher boost levels. You could run 93 octane gas in a bone-stock F22A with 8.8:1 compression and it won't give you more power. All you'll be doing is wasting money. If your engine isn't detonating, the gas you're running is fine. Take Lodollar92LX for example. He's running 18psi and making 500+whp on 93 octane street gas. Running 110-112 octane fuel isn't going to give him any more power. He'd be throwing money away if he started using it.

So im assumin the same for 100 octane

like he stated above. the octane level just determines how controlled the gas 'explodes' the higher the octane the less chance of a malfunction

Octane is simply a rating of a fuel's resistance to detonation. It has absolutely nothing to do with the amount of "power" you're going to get out of it. That's a myth that the gasoline companies lead consumers to believe. You're welcome to use 100 octane gasoline if it makes you feel any better. I'm just trying to keep you from wasting your money.

Ahh, but you are neglecting the intrinsic properties that higher octane fuel allows.

More timing or boost DOES increase power, and higher octane fuel will facilitate the changes. Plus, when running higher octane due to its more resistant detonation charachteristics, it gives you a larger margin when tuning, which can be critical for durability.

But in and of itself, no, it does not give you more power.

Im jus askin cuz when i went to the SCCA hill climb meet this past oct.

There was a 95 NEON, with a light fw and was tuned with 100 octane and a slighty better cam from a 96-97 neon

and he says thanks to that he got more Hp and shaved 3 sec's off his time attack.

[ikayto]

wow, thats risky lol.

[straightedge]

Like the others said, higher octane cannot gain your engine power, but when tuned, it can allow more aggressive values to be ran with less risk of problems.

This engine will last as long as it lasts, haha. When it blows up, I'll just build a bottom end and boost to 30psi, no worries. It's not a street car. Either way, you will probably never see anything other than a single cam motor in this car.

A better cam, a lightweight flywheel and better experience at driving the car would account for the improvement in lap times. As mentioned many times, increasing the octane rating of your gasoline will simply allow you more headroom to tune the car. Octane equals resistance to detonation. Increase the resistance to detonation and you have more freedom to play with timing, increase compression ratios and crank up boost. Higher octane ratings by themselves mean nothing.

we think a lot alike good sir.

Updated first post with the most recent picture of the car from the track.

whats your suspension setup?

repesent the SOHC!

[straightedge]

whats your suspension setup?

D2 coilovers, F/R Suspension Technique sways, F/R eBay strut bars, rear half custom roll cage, rear disc conversion, front rotor over hub conversion, ARP extended studs F/R, that's about it I believe.
