Should I run race gas? D15b vtec + 10psi
Im going to the track tonight and was wondering if I should run some race gas. Using Uberdata and BBKA's map on 10-11psi. What should I run; Normal 93, 100, 110. My tank is just about on E now..

You ant just ask that question. We dont know how much timing you are running or any thing. BTW i would not just take someones map and run it at the track with out fine tuning it to my motor. Open the map...if theres ALOT of timing run AV gas....if its a normal amount run pump because av gas will burn too slow and could slow you down.

well hows your tuning?
was it dyno tuned properly or are you just running a basemap or some sort?
If it was tuned properly then its probably tuned to run on whatever gas it was running at the time of the tuning right? in that case i'd say run that, unless somethings changed.
otherwise.. hey better safe than sorry right?
yeh.. maybe theres a chance you'd be faster,
but heck, do you have ez access to some 100 octane? if yes, i'd run it.
sohcs are kinda fragile when you're at such high boost levels, so any buffer level you can give yourself is good.
Just my opinion though, i'm sure there are more knowledgeable ppl out there that could add more.
btw, i'd recommend the 100, 110 seems like overkill to me.

with a d15 be careful making any kind of power. Even if you don't detonate you can throw a rod like nothing.
More importantly, why do you have a map for a completely different setup? race gas won't tune your car.
