Actually it's blue I'm told.

I was joking as well............nothing serious from me life is to short I still would love to come play in your sandbox and use your toys

Congrats Gino, boat is beautiful. Stupid question, but does adding the high octane race fuels to regular fuel really do anything to help out performance wise and are you even suppose to do this without damaging your motors. Just asking because I see guys doing this with 5 and 10 gallons of race fuel added to their tanks and the funny one is the bass boats doing it at our gas dock during a fishing tournament with like 3-5 gallons of race fuel and rest premium. TIA for your humorous responses, by the way, I am talking about boats that do not "require" race fuel (110 octane and up).

Gino I hope you have time to burn boat loads of it . Sounds like you do . Right on ! And for those who don't like it go hug a tree .

Now thats great well said.

I don't have a quarter of the boat that gino has but that is the way I feel every time I get to be out an run balls out.

Friends of mine about chit when they see the fuel bill for a day and I really shouldn't be spending that much money on my boat but........that chit eatin grin is worth every penny.

Ironmanwb

Oh yeah and my chit eatin grin comes at about 100 mph slower than Gino's

Is it correct that the hotter burn and detonation can damage heads, etc.? I have seen lots of people doing this in stock 502's and such and told them that it was not a good idea and they said it is just a cleaner burn and won't hurt anything. Confusious says, "I don't think so!"

race fuel in an oversimplified nutshell: the higher the octane number, the greater the resistance to detonation ie: gas burns in the combustion chamber, it doesnt explode. high compression ratios need high octane levels to resist detonation as the easy answer is that race gas burns slower and cooler than lower octane fuel (its a bit more complicated than that) because of the slower burn so to speak, running high octane fuel in a lower compression motor will actually rob power. Think of fuel (well fuel / air mixture) as a spring, and a low compression engine as a ford escort, and a high compression engine as an F350 superduty. both need springs in the suspension. since the escort is light it doesnt need a big spring, the F350 need a big spring cuz its a big truck. now the fuel/air mixture burning = the stored enrgy of the compressed spring. an escort on F350 springs isnt going to have much energy because it simply cant compress the spring, so it cant bounce back, the escort spring on an F350 is just going to explode, because it cant handle being compressed that much. As for the staement above, to hot a burn results in excess heat, excess heat causes detonation, while hard on heads, detonation is brutal on pistons, rods and bearings. normal combustion results in a "pushing effect" on the piston, detonation is much more like smacking the top of the piston with a sledge hammer. while running more octane than neccissary decreases the pushing effect on the piston.

I bet you that 117 smells awesome!!!!!!!! Go get em Gino!!!!!!!!

NO it dosn't. We ran c12 in our open mod grass drag snowmobiles . That stuff is not to be snorted or on your skin for long.
