thought lead containing fuel was banned all over the world for environmental reasons?!
and it it's above 98 octane, it also contains ethanol. :o
there are several goals to racing fuel:
- get more hp out or your engine
thanks to the higher mon value, higher compression ratio's can be used in the racing engines.
unless our engine has been changed, this is of no use to buell.
- get a beter burning rate
the ethanol/fuel mixture has a faster burning rate, which gives a better, more efficient burn at higher rpm's.
since buell is a low-rev engine, this is of no use to us.
- cooling
ethanol containing fuel can cool the intake & combustion chambre more efficiently, which creates an environment that is more dense and can pack more air.
more air => more fuel => need a custom remap for sure!
- better energy value
because of better cooling and better AF ratio of the ethanol/fuel mixture, it can burn more fuel, thus creating more power.
more fuel needs more air => custom remap, ram air possibility !
since ethanol contains air, so does ethanol containing fuels. this means you need to richen up you mixture even more...@ 8$ a pop, that will be a nice savings account. :p
so my conclusion would be...
unless you're running a flowed 1425cc turbocharged, custom mapped engine in your buell, i would not recommend using racing fuel. ;)
