Don`t waste the money on it, it won`t make any difference performance wise and the car won`t ET any different.

so just put some 93 in it? i mean i shouldent like fill it up becuase that would be more weight, ill put a couple of gallons in it, well im gonna drive my car there since i only live like 7 miles from the place lol.........does anyone have any tips?

The octane will be overkill. Higher octanes burn slower and if your engine cant use it, it will waste it. As a general idea, go with the lowest octane your vehicle can handle (sort of like going with the smallest carb it will like).

As far as doin well, just focus on reaction times and such. Focus straight ahead. Dont worry bout the other driver. People can often lose a lot of time just in their reaction. Some people like to throw some ice on their intake to cool the incoming air. I havent done this before but if you can lower the temp of the imcoming air thats worth a few hp . . 1 hp for every 10 degrees I believe.

Im sure others will chime in with some tips.

Good luck.

ya thanks, there will prob be alot of people there with there big HP motors and im there with my 305 hahaha......well maybe there will be some slow imports there that they will put me aganist

Even if you are slow, make sure to make a lasting impression in their mind somehow. That way when you make your comeback you can take them by surpise .

if you have a 270-280hp 305 brag that its only a little 305 and that will leave an impression. then show us your times

Engine size means nothing as far as bracket racing goes....it's all about reaction time and having your car dialed in correctly.

Drive naked?
