wow..and they run 11 psi of stock boost...im surprised that it is that high..you guys all have to run high test in the S's right?

I do recommend 94 octane especially when you run my boost kit which puts out 15psi

do you guys notice big gains of running a race type fuel?

Like i said b4 , i feel my t-type runs harder on 104 than on 91-94 octane. I wouldnt run the mini's on anything less than 91 octane ( 94 if you have it near you ) with the SC mini's and def when with a modded ones.

i have tried a higher octane in the old dodge, but with the low compression, it literally runs no better, and 87 is nice and cheap

U def can go for some pistons to get thta compression up and ALOT more HP unless ur gonna run a turbo or SC.

i know. we are going to work the car into the 11s with the low compression, then either buy big compression pistons, or work on a BB, which i already have...but i like having a big car with a little engine that is kind of fast.
