E85 *is* pump gas. An interesting thought, especially when MN has the most pumps.
E85 isn't gasoline. Its E85, only 15% gasoline. I can go to the track and buy Sunoco 116 out of a pump, does that make it pump too? I'm not the 14B record police, I'm just stating my opinion that if you want to set a turbo based record then nitrous ruins the validity of your record to me. If you want to set a pump gas record then adding meth which is in essence increasing your octane also ruins the validity of your record. Maybe to others it doesn't but to me it does.

Good point on E85. I agree on using meth or nitrous. It ruins the "spirit" of the record. Using the local premium seems like the only fair way.

116 is local to the track /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif
I think there should be an agreed octane cap to retain the "spirit" of the record.

Just state what you have in your tank or what kind of gas your running, then look at the other records and compare.
1 was ran on race gas @ 12.3
the other was a lower 12.3 with n2o
those are the two fastest records.
run pump ( 91 or 93 ) and beat them both

i am on pump with meth we will just call it race gas so there is no arguments its only a m3 nozzle tho.. how i am figuring it out i am breaking 11.9 for sure.. now if i port the turbo dose that disquaify me from a "14b" record ?
I am #81 Galant up there now at full weight 3440lbs.
Looking to get high 12's on the 14b with pump this coming season.
I need to lighten the car up. Take out cruise, spare, jack, get a stubby antena, remove the AC, maybe remove ABS if I can get the non-abs lines and other valve.

^where are u getting a stubby antenna from?
I am thinking of the one people are using for evo's IIRC s2000 ones.
Also I found universal stubby ones. Hopefully removing the motor and crap for it will loose a decent amount.
I want to get 3000 with out me. That is a net weight drop of 240 ish. I would love to get the car to 3000 with me in it.

Stubby antennas are easy, bolt cutters then put the ball in the vice and a pair of vice grips and start spining it will come off. Then drill the hole out in the ball just a little and insert the short ariel in the ball sometimes you can heat with a torch and stick it on. I have had the balls split there brass by the way. You can use small brass bushings and after getting them on grind off round and then paint.

Some stations have street legal 100 unleaded fuel.
Anyone know what the fasted Galant on street legal fuel and a catalytic converter is?

If you name off enough variables, everyone here holds some record.

"Gas" implies gasoline. "Pump gas" in 99% of the automotive world implies 93 octane (or 91 in some states).
In reality though,who cares what fuel you are running as long as you run the number with the stock turbo and no other power adder? I would venture to say most (insert turbo size) "records" were not set on straight pump. I wasn't aware of a official 14b record to ruin the "spirt" of anyway.
A stout pass in a full weight 3400lb GVR4 on race gas and no nitrous,with all the creature comforts intact,is respectable every bit as much or more as a lightened GVR4 on pump gas IMHO. If you can set a record in a full weight car on pump and no meth,hell yeah it's worth bragging about. Like someone already mentioned,add enough variables and we're all record holders.
Just go run the number. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
