10% Ethanol in the pump gas

Why, if it ran fine before?

More pop.

He's got it, though...buying $500 totes.

Properly converted and tuned for, E85 will provide more power because its like using the equivalent of 110 octane race gas. In a road car, you see less than a 30% decrease in mileage because less pedal input is needed since more power is being made across the entire power band. In a ski with alot of brap-brap, you might notice less mileage, but the power might make you grin more.

They're not talking E85. (85% Ethanol)

Just in from Watcon via email:

Crab,
E-10 fuel has less BTU and won't perform as well... it might also need
larger low speed jets? The way our fuel is now, it's a good move to add
approx 25% AV gas for octane stability ever for "pump gas" applications.



Randy,

Figured out what the problem was, the front part of the impeller closest to hub on the intake side looks like it lost a battle with a rock. I was able to clean it up really good today and ill see how it works Wed. afternoon. After October ill send it off to Impros to fix it better if they can.

They can, and set it up for even more bottom end :brap: Just tell him your setup and that your into freeride.

Please explain to us all how the use of a higher octane alone will give us more power.

I think he qualified that by saying "properly converted and tuned":aargh4:

He made it sound like the gas is giving you more power... not the compression or timing that you could add along with it. By "Properly tuned and converted" I interpreted that as using the larger jets to make it run right again.
