And to answer Astro's question about 76s higher octane in SoCal, yes. The one on the 91 freeway exiting on Lakewood Blvd heading north2 blocks on Flower Street. They sell up to 105 unleaded and 120 leaded.

Oh, I know exactly where that's at. I used to live a few blocks from there. I never went there because I always went to the one in Pasadena, since I'm in North Hollywood now.

Sleeper wrote:Well i finally purchased the racing fuel, VP Racing at 103 octane. A 5 gallon tin can cost me $45. Since this is my first time running the Solara on racing fuel, its going to take me a while to know exactly which mixture is best for my car. This weekend I need to make my car as light as possible, my car right now is completely gutted out, the only thing left in it is my Sparco seat, armrest console, and the dashboard. As far as the weight on the fuel i only want to run it with a quarter tank. So im thinking of having 3 gallons of 103 and 2 gollons of 91 octane for best mixture, what do you guys think?

Yeah that would be good. . . You should focus more on launching quickly. . . If you haven't raced on a track before the best tip I can tell you is launch by the time the 3rd yellow lights hits because if you wait till green you won't have a good reaction time. . . Besides that have fun :D and video tape your run or something

just use the additive you can get at pep boys or whatever. i find it speeds up the revs a little bit.

but i used double the dosage it called for. so i was running like 110 probably

and it does seem to empty out the tank faster lol.
