I'm sorry for sounding like an asshole here, but this makes no sense!! A sentra (n/a) will probably LOSE power with too high an octane fuel...I know I did when I was running low boost...car ran like ass all night!

I don't boost high enough for race gas. If you go to MIR for fun runs though, SURELY let me know about it!

most supra owners are assholes


and im going by what was said, i wasnt there, never bothered in an attempt to blow up my car so i dunno how it would react


however

i would assume if it was 1 gallon race gas, mixed with 11 or so gallons of 93, i would assume the mixture was enough to not hurt anything or have any negative side effects, with minimal results

The fact is that it wouldn't do ANYTHING except not burn efficiently enough. Unless said Sentra is boosting, it doesn't need a higher octane. Hell, it could probably run on mid-grade just fine. Higher octane gas does not combust as easily as a lower octane fuel, which is why you HAVE to use it in high compression engines/set-ups....it doesn't pre-detonate. In the same respect, if you aren't running high enough compression to ignite it, then it won't burn hot or clean, i.e- efficiently. That's why I LOST about 20rwhp on two 9 PSI dyno sessions (the 9 PSI was due to other issues, but it proved this point), because I wasn't boosting enough to burn the race fuel!

Class dismissed.
