This will be my second year running an Aerocharged '14 Freeride at 7-8lbs boost. Last season I ran 2/3 Fury 108 race gas to 1/3 94 premium. Riding in areas like McBride and Valemont is this overkill, and does it impact anything other than my wallet?

Thanks

I have two cans of shell urt 105oct in Edmonton I'd like to see gone if you want to run them. Good fuel very consistent.

I ran it in a blower car but am done racing now.


Id say say you could run 50/50 mix with pump fuel at elevation. Around town more race fuel as your dynamic compression will increase with the lower elevation. Do you have a knock sensor?

The way you were mixing it you are ending up with 97 - 98 octane. 100LL avgas will be cheaper and you will end up with higher octane so a bit safer. Unless there is some reason avgas is not good for a 2 stroke. I run 100% avgas in my 4 stroke.

I have to add that running straight avgas makes your sled a bit harder to start in cold weather. So thats a downfall.

any high octane fuel is harder to start. On the xm it just means it starts first pull near the end of the pull, not in the first 12".
