race gas in sleds

[u_say_go]

talked to a guy who claims he uses 111 octane in his stock Vmax snowmobile. Any benefit or harm to doing this?

[70 cutlass 442]

none what so ever.

[Smokey1226]

unless you have high comp. and race? If not, then no.

[JC70SS]

yes...it will make it smell fast.

[Smokey1226]

yes...it will make it smell fast.
or a 440cc setup for it.

[juicedimpss]

if he jacks the timing up alot along with super lean jetting it will help in short runs.

Don't see the point in a stock sled much less a vmax - never known to make huge power

A lot of posers put it in there stock sled so when they ride by people mite think its built.

Its like a V6 Stang with dual exhaust, completley useless but makes them think their cool when around there other gay buddies.

edit: In a stock sled, no. In a PERFORMANCE sled with high compression, yes.

We had a 1000cc that ran I think 13:1 compression (if I remember right). We could only run race gas in it. Yeah real fun having to carry extra race gas on the trails.... NOT

That thing was a bitch to start too

Nothing but 110 in this. It isn't too bad though, only go through 10 gallons or so a year

I always find it commical when people run high octane fuel when theres no need to. infact, a low compression engine will run worse on high octane fuel then the reccomended fuel. Ive got a cheater head on my sled and even they say 92 octane os ok. sooo explain to me why a stock head/ stock pistion/ stock igntion timing/ stock jetted vmax would need 110???? no reason at all!

[u_say_go]

i have no experience with race gas, but it didn't sound right when he suggested that I try it...that's why I asked you folks. thanks

[70 cutlass 442]

[u_say_go]
