Anyone use their M8 with the SLP performance package (4000' and up) at 1000' feet or so? The parents are up from NB and want to go for a quick little trail ride (I hate trail riding) but I have never used the M8 at low elevation and was told that if I do, to use a lot of race fuel.

Any help would be appreciated

Good question, I am looking into getting one of these kits. Hopefully someone chimes in, I am sure the race fuel thing won't hurt.:d

haha no im sure race fuel won't hurt, but tracking it down up here is an issue right now so I may have to resort to avgas today...

Ive been running mine with 91 octane an a few ounces of octane boost , just make sure when you go to the pumps you disp all the low octane out of the hose an pump before you put it in the sled , change your weight also if you can , run my 2010 M8 HCR on 91 all the time in boyle @ 2100' sure you'll be aright. good luck do you have scratches on you sled might be good for the trail to ( afd has fuel trucks going to the mac all the time get a bbl of high octane shiped up thier

had it out today...filled up with 91 and a thing of octane booster...sled worked really well and easily out pulled my nytro (hah). It was my first time using this setup and now I can't wait to try it in the mountains. The octane light did come on once so if I use it down here again I think ill be using either avgas or mixing some vp in with it.
