Grumpy,
I forgot my race chip one time so used a Thrasher 93 and alky. Best run that day was 12.65 vs a 12.25 that I'd run the week before on the good gas & chip.

With the price and limited availability of race fuel, all I have done this year is race with Sunoco 94 and alcohol.

Best run this year was 11.8 @ 116, 25psi boost no knock.

I think there are several cars out there running alcohol with more MPH, I think Julio is running 120+ mph and there is another GN that went 130+ MPH on alcohol.....

Yah. 23 psi on a stock turbo in 60* air. I didn't have a hotter chip so used a Thrasher 93 but usually run a 30* RA-108. From that I assume I lost 4/10s with 6* less timing. Sound about right?
