    Wow Bill is must suck to have been racing in 1970 and now not having a car that runs. Maybe instead of making a few thousand posts a week on every site in the country you could focus your efforts on your completing your car. There is no excuse for the delay.

    now educate me here...Ive read a couple articles on this stuff and it is interesting but they did swaps on mostly stock cars.

    what are YOU going to benifit from? just being able to run a smaller pulley with cheaper fuel?

    what about my car for instance? Im already running a ton of timing and all is good....is there power to be had?

    and does anyone sell it in drums?

    The benefit you will see is from a (cooler burn = more power) and $2 a gallon instead of $11.

    Yes you can get it in a drum.
    Good info here.

    so the pro's are that it is cheaper, runs cooler and has high octane..
    the cons are that it it has lower thermal energy, and can absorb water..

    and i guess its not made using petroleum from the wacky Iraqi's...

    as a DD fuel though.. it doesn't seem to have much if any advantage over dino fuel..correct?

    If you can DD on pumps gas then do it. I can't street drive my car with 91 octane unless I swap pulleys.

    its just alot of work to "hopefully" gain some power.

    and since its "rated" at 105....what happens when you start running the motor to the point where you should be running say C16 (if you were still on regular gas)
