If you really want to play that game nitromethane is the perfect fuel.

I tried the Xylene once to see if it made any difference. I didn't as far as I could tell.

Tonight was my first time running at the track EVER. I had a full tank of gas *oops* and had a ton of fun..my best run was a 15.1 @ 90 MPH. I'm hoping next wed. to bring it down to a 14 somthing..my worst run was one 15.7, but i got scared bc i was running againest a cop 5.0 that runs low 11s! eek! I didnt touch the tire preasure at all, but next week i'm going to lower it some..also, i noticed as i ran more, and the engine got hotter, my car kept running around 15.5...sad day for me. Oh well..next wed. I WILL reach 14's..

I would definately use premium at the track next time, but I won't be looking for anything higher than 91 or 92.

Also, ya need to start with more than 1/4 tank, because the 14 runs burned through a little more than 1/4... who knows how far you have to go to the nearest gas station ?
Had to bring it back...dang, $2.19/gal for premium...and it was expensive...those were the days
