lol why do you say that. timing is at stock and if i up the boost ill just use 100+ octane fuel. Motor only has 50k on it from last rebuild compression and leak down was good.

If it blows then so what give me an excuse for forged internals.

do you have 100 oct from your pumps? the highest we got in md in 93. i dont think i would want a daily drive that runs off of race gas

jp3z, hes talking about running race gas at the track because of the 100 shot of N2O he will be running. Yes, running race gas is a much safer way to keep your internals

. But you should be more worried about burning a hole in the top of your pistons than spinning bearing. More boost/nos = hotter spark = higher chance of detonation (unless running a reliable fuel ie. 100+ octane. You said your car was around 3,600 lb? I read something about a stock Turbo 5speed 1987 supra was weghing in at around 2900lb's. How does yours weigh so much??? Hows that for my first post?

3600 lbs for a stock targa turbo mk3. 2900lbs is in the neighborhood of an mk2 82-early 86.
