Turbo Blue racing fuel instead of Meth - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Carpetguy · 10-15-2017, 02:21 PM

Just found out I have a company literally blocks away from me that carries Racing fuel. Would this Be better just to fill up with racing fuel instead of alky meth kit for my TURBO.
Camaro was set up with the alky meth kit and tuned for it.
Been trying to fix the issues with the alky system.Seems like i am fixing one thing on it then another.
System wasn't working so I put a new pump on then a constant red light.found out the float was floating in the tank.Now when I test the system have a leak somewhere dripping under the front.

So can this fuel take over the meth kit and have no issues while boosting.

How much per gallon and what octane race fuel. Thats going to get expensive

Carpetguy · 10-15-2017, 05:25 PM

110 octane .And believe it was 5.15 will have to check again.
Just noticed it today.
Camaro is not my daily driver

If price is not really a factor in your decision then I would talk to my tuner and get him to expound on the pro/con issues of using meth or switching to race fuel. You better make sure that 110 is unleaded.

Honestly, if price is not an issue then switch to E85 and be done with all the issues.

Thanks for the heads up .I think I will look into the e85. Didn't really know that was a option.

If E85 is available at stations in your area it is like filling up with race fuel at < $2/gal.

Just saying.

The only downside that I am aware of is your gas milage is going to suck but other than that, I know of none.

I think he means between pump + meth vs 110, stick with pump and meth... probably not commenting on the E85 part.

Carpetguy · 10-18-2017, 11:21 AM

Since Bigfoot brought it up earlier.
