first time on race gas!

[cudvig]

omg my first time on race gas was today! it was soo fun! im only on a 14b at 18 psi with most of the right supporting mods. I have a rewired fuel pump and thats about it for fuel. But honestly, the car pulls soo hard and my knock is 0! yes! go DSMs! I'm soo excited for sunday at rockfalls!

go boost up, what race gas were you using and what was the price?

[StealthGST]

Ive never tried any, the only place I've even seen sell race gas is in rosemount and it's leaded... so I doubt thats what I want :)

ha, 18, should turn it up to 20, then she'll really go, course I'm kinda crazy...

Boost until you starting hitting knock then pull back a little. I'm not sure at what psi of boost the 14b runs out of steam though. You can surely go past 18psi though. I'm guessing the 14b is good to at least 21-22psi. Somebody else can tell you exactly on here. I've never ran a 14b.

I have run 25+psi on one before. The 14B can't sustain the boost though and eventually drops down to 18psi in the higher RPMs like usual, but it does make a lot of torque and you can get down the track quick, if you know the right RPM to shift at in each gear.

Sorry to hijack this thread- But Shane, where would you normally shift a 50trim'd car like my 99GSX knowing that it has all the classy mods like a Magnus, 272's, etc.? I've been rapping it out at 7500. It's still the stock bottom end 2g. thanks.

Probably as high as possible. You would really need to see what your power curve is like on the dyno, but with that setup, it should still make decent power at 7500+ RPMs so you will probably want to shift high. On cars with smaller turbos that don't make the best power in the high RPMs you would want to shift lower. I think when had the 14B on her car, she would shift 1st-2nd at 7200+ RPMs, then 2nd to 3rd at 6300 and 3rd to 4th at something like 5900.

I ran 20+psi on my old black beater's 14B. It would spike to 24, then fall to around 18-19ish.

It was good for 12.99 to 13.10 all day long with basically no supporting mods. (you gotta love C-16)

I drove to rock falls on 110 at 28 PSI. Now 92 oct seams slow. I want to start buying race gas by the drum, and run it all the time.
