Urt114? Are you quoting research octane, motor octane, or r+m/2? The orange stuff is 115 research, motor 105, and r+m/2 110, which I believe is their top tier unleaded…
Also, fill us in on the giac pulley delay, please…
It seems for the Canadian guys, there may be some sort of link between Shell URT, Shellbourne Fuels, and the Canadian racers you SHOULD remember, Ludwig Heimrath (both Sr and Jr). Gonna make a call tomorrow.
those are hilarious DA numbers. Kinda irrelevant for comparing now. 4000 feet difference between those and your other 1000 foot runs. Wonder what that equates to in power for SC and NA cars.
I logged my RS4 the other day in similar numbers (-2000) and the results were nuts vs. logs in the fall even. Wish we could rent a dragstrip in winter here at 7 degrees fahrenheit. We’d all be feeling really fast.
This is at the drag strip we go to, last night. That’s located about 400 feet higher above sea level than where I live. Wonder if I could log my car at -4000 feet. Should do a 60-130 test for you to get a baseline for best case scenario for a stock RS4 with 45,000 miles of carbon buildup.
Density Altitude: -3623 feet
Relative Density: 111.04 %
Profuels Mark II 110 is a little over $3/L last time I bought it from where they mix it…it’s highly oxygenated, it stinks of MTBE. Oxygenates have to be balanced with other compounds in the fuel, to make sure the motor doesn’t run lean. This is what was in Bears tank for the 11.76@119.6.
The shell URT advanced apparently has no oxygen. This is what Prime used for the 11.69. It is using toluene, xylenes, aniline. It’s the same R+M as the above, but achieves it using a different chemical approach. Anyhow, all very interesting.
