Octane Boost Requirements

WARNING: your actual octane is 3.5 points less than marked at the gas pump.

* Ounces of octane boost should be added to every 1/2 tank of gas.

Example calculation to formulate a percentage of E85 you wish to run
25% of E85 = Gas Pumped x .25 6.5 gal. gas x.25 = 1.625 gal. of E85 added or 25%
50% of E85 = Gas Pumped x .5 6.5 gal. gas x.5 gal of E85 added or 50%

Important: Leave room in tank for E85 added
Run air fuel gauge in car, look for part throttle at 14-14.5 and WOT at 11.5-12
Increasing fuel pressure 10+ # will help in tuning an E85 mix
When running E85 50 to 100% add larger fuel rails and a stainless fuel filter or filter delete tube

Example Calculation for RWHP for C.I.
590 RWHP/by 281 C.I. = 2.1 C.I. per RWHP
