Aviation fuels are made for engines that run at low RPM, usally below 3000 RPM. They burn different than Auto fuel. My V8 buddies tried it years ago and did'nt make a difference, if anything their 1/4 mile times were slower, due to wrong compression ratio I guess.
No, he didn't said anything about new kit. But I can wait.

And about aerofuel, guys over here made better 1/4 mile times with it. My theory is that aero fuel (like anything else in aviation) is made with big security factor. Plain has to cope with low temperatures when the engine cilinder is filled with cold air. From that point, more octane makes detonation controling easier. What is happening when You put a turbo? More risk because there's more air to be mixed and burned with fuel. Same thing with plane in the air. Too much air enters, you have to burn it safe and without detonation. That's why they run 3000/rpm.
Maybe V8 guys missed ignition timing, because it need's to be changed rapidly for use with that fuel. My oppinion.

Any more oppinions on CB performance turbo injection hideaway kit? Thank's to people who helped by now
