    High octane with N20

    I know that there are advantages with using higher octane fuel when you use N20 but are there any dissadvantages?

    I am going to use some 104 this weekend at the track to cut down on the chance of detonation....never had any but I did get a backfire last time. Thanks for the input.

    If you are still running the 100 shot A mix of race fuel and 93 wouldnt hurt..Just helps w/ detonation..It wont hurt anything..Good luck

    Only thing to worry about is fouling the cats....race fuel isn't as easy on them, but just ran temporarily you should be ok.

    Thanks! I will mix it instead of going straight race fuel. Going for the LOW 13's...at my altitude that shoud be in the mid 12's at sea level.

    This saturday I had a real low tank when I showed up at the track, maybe 2 gallons left of 93 octane. I added 3 gallons of 100 octane at the track and ran on that all day. Car performed flawlessly and would recommend that.
