If you're heat soaking to the point of timing being pulled back, adding octane is just a band aid as well. You'll want to keep heat in check first.



I think the race gas that NV is carrying is all e85 based, which is awesome!
That is what i was thinking too. If im tuned on 100oct lets say and use 100oct at the track. Wouldn't that put me in the same scenario as being tuned on 94 and using 94 on the track? Jackson racing says to use 100+oct at the track when using their SC kit so i figured mixing 100oct with some 94 would give me a margin of safety instead of using 94 strictly.
