Default Question about my setup and race gas

My setup is FULLY listed on my website below.

I was wondering what racegas could do for me at the track?

Does it just make for better power vs pump without ANY changes to timing or lbs of boost?

Or do I run more timing or boost because the racegas allows for far less chance of detonation?

Also those that have been to e-town what grade octane is the highest I can use while still being unleaded.

Race gas alone will not make more power over pump gas. But it gives you more potential to run higher boost levels or more advanced timing than you would with regular pump (93 octane) gas.

Ok 1 aspect of my question answered, thank you.

Now with my setup which would be a better and safer idea to get more power out of that race gase, bump up my timing? (currently 14deg, or 2 lower then stock) or more boost, say 2 more lbs MAX putting me at 10psi....

Depends what octane race gas you plan on running. Since you're using the AFC hack, i would increase the fuel percentage on the upper RPM's a little and you could run 1 or 2psi more boost. I would do this before advancing the timing, leave it retarded a few degrees. I'm not a fan of high boost on stock ECU timing.
