will let you know, planning to go twice a month for the balance of the season,
it would be fun to blast down the track with another vw

james forget pump gas.your complete set-up is untested and i highly recomend race fuel,you will be able to go 4-5 passes on 1 gallon.trust me take a variable out of the way and run race fuel the safety cushion is worth the $17.00
lock out the dist and play with timing ,finding that magic timing window and the correct A/F ratio combination is the key to making torque.start at 22 deg /and stay on the rich side and work from there .sorry all fired up :D i love tuning .

every t&t that i have been to has the vp racegas trailer set up and they sell all the good juice.

like jim said, he got 4-5 passes on about a gallon and it was so worth it he bought some more for his last 3 runs of the day.

i agree, c16 seems a little overkill.

afaik, jim was running c12 and it was working quite well. it's all about the potential energy available, mang. B)

i would think running pump gas would be more dangerous than running racegas. all that knocking from the multiple flame fronts colliding is going to blow something apart. B)

Post by: James Buchan on July 03, 2006, 06:00:05 PM: I won't be cranking the boost more than 10lbs so I won't need to worry about that. I still have way more tuning to do prior to cranking the MBC and seeing what else I can get out of it.
