Post by: bushypad on October 09, 2014, 04:32:05 pm

Random question but how much extra power can be expected when using race fuel?

Not much if you are running a stock map...

If the car is on stage 2 for example?

The ECU will compensate a little, just like it does when running 99RON instead of 95RON

yes but minimal gains for cost of race fuel, it wouldnt make sense for the cost without a map setting to suit

op you would be better off going 2+ first or k04 if its a 03 car

Your car would need to be mapped with race fuel, just adding race fuel will probably just make the car burble a bit more :smiley:
