Default Re: 110 Racing fuel
What kind of gas was it? If it came in a 5 gallon drum, you may be suprised. The only time higher octane fuel would make more power would be if the computer advanced the timing due to the stability of the higher fuel. A race fuel would make more power due to the additives and purity of the fuel. Some race fuels are leaded (kills o2 sensors and cats) and oxygenated (contain oxygen as part of their chemical structure) and will make good power, but you usually need to tune it differently. Different fuels require different air fuel ratios too.
here's some good info on race fuel racing gas, race cart, race go kart, airplane fuel
