Re: Question about Sunoco Racing Fuel
Price and Motor Octane are probably the two most important factors in choosing race fuels . Any race fuel listed on the accepted fuels list for IHRA and NHRA should pass tech with no problem . Competition Race Fuels ( formerly Torco ) is on both lists .
Because every brand of race fuel has different specs , any time you change brands of fuel , to get the ultimate power , you might need to change the tune-up slightly . It is possible to pick-up power by changing brands , doesn't always happen , you just have to make the right changes . And to get the most for your money , choose a race fuel that has the highest Motor Octane for the range of fuel you use . .
Keep in mind that one of the biggest reasons that race fuels get bounced in tech is contamination . It only takes a very small variance in specs to get bounced , and something as simple as a tiny amount of another brand or type of fuel in the drum or jug that you use can make the difference .
