Default question for any apr stage 3 guys

how can you run 93 octane in the 100 octane program? does the 100 octane progam just advance the timing or what?

Default I've never tried it.. but yes race programs advances timing only from what I understand

more timing therefore have to use better gas.

But bradford said he's been using 100 on 93.
I wouldn't try it on your pes kit tho. I hear you guys have lots of timing anyways?

Default Pretty much. Since cooler IATs are more resistant to detonation

you can run the "100 program" on 93 gas about 6 months out of the year.

The name really means nothing - they could have called the program "Program 3", "Progam C" or "Super Wacky Fun Ball Juice For Your Enjoyment"

Default The 100 octane, as with all advanced timing programs, "smooths out" the pull

Boost gives you that familiar turbo "kick" feeling. Timing improves throttle response, low end torque, etc. Basically more power across the whole range.

Default ~3600-3700 is what I see.. I thought they were similar

It's been a while since I drove a T-28..

Now go out there and drag race that baby. Sameer was gentle on her
