RaceGas in Canada HP+++
You can get RaceGas in the GTA now. The gains are similar to E85 and alot safer then water/methanol injection.
You'll need a dyno tune and one can of RaceGas additive in your tank. If you're boosted and tuned for 94 octane you will achieve aproximately 99 Octane with RaceGas additive which will increase torque/horsepower (+20 - 40) I've been thinking of going this route... Anyone else doing this? Last edited by JDM_Import; 12-29-2019 at 02:42 PM. |

RaceGas? Never even heard of this in Canada
Is it similar gains to E85 or water methanol injection? |

I am always sceptical of products that make claims like this.
The marketing literature make it seem to work like a high performance octane booster. I can find no sign that it's safe for catalytic converters or general emissions equipment. I can't find any independent testing outside of their own webpage to verify octane claims although other similar products exist and DO seem to have some verified independent testing. I actually expect this product is one of these with a different label as is often the case with these things. |

I find it hard to believe 8oz of anything will do that. Straight Benzene/Toluene/Alcohol/Plutonium can't do that. What is in that magical 8oz of liquid? |

That's the octane booster I run, Glenn.
Not cheap - but it allows me to run 91 octane fuel on track with my 94 octane tune when 94 isn't available at a pump nearby. Sasha from Onpoint Dyno runs it - so that's a pretty big vote of confidence in the product working right there. It contains some naughty chemicals though (notably MMT), so it's not street legal. As I recall, I need basically an entire can to top a full tank of 91 up to 94. Royal Purple makes a similar additive that's quite a bit cheaper and is also MMT based. Haven't seen any actual dyno tests - but the butt dyno results felt identical to me. |

I had the ratios wrong. I misread their ad here; https://performanceimprovements.com/products/rg100032 MMT was removed from fuels a long time ago for many reasons, as I'm sure you know. Posted for others. https://www.canada.ca/en/health-cana...-gasoline.html Ethanol would be a better option I think. Logistics is the main issue and cost, of course. |

I believe the street price is about $40 a can, so "Race Gas" brand is not cheap. But it works. The 91->94 price jump probably equates to about $10 a tank at the station for comparison. The plus here is you could run a ZERO ethanol fuel (which some people like) and still get 94 octane. Can't do that with Ultra 94 since it's actually more than 10% ethanol. As for using ethanol as an additive - the problem here is that while it does raise octane it has a much lower energy content per unit volume than gasoline. It is also highly hygroscopic. MMT brings a SHIT PILE of energy to the table, in addition to the octane bump. Our cars are also very sensitive to ethanol - it's the reason our fuel pumps chirp like crickets. MMT was removed solely due to tree huggers. Anything else you read is more or less a sales pitch. |

Who said anything about 8oz of RaceGas? You need boost and 32oz of RaceGas to make that kinda power.

I should have been more specific here. For anyone interested Yes I saw the dyno results before and after. I will try to acquire that and post it here. This was done on a 2018 twin with a 210 Sprintex supercharger.
To be precise, 32oz of RaceGas additive gained 20lb-ft and 37whp. Timing was pulled back as soon knock was introduced so its conservatively tuned. |
