I went out to Willowbank Raceway yesterday to the Test N Tune held from 10am to see if adding some octane booster would make any difference in the times. The ambient temperature was 12C higher than the last meet which was held at night in the middle of winter and the condition of the track wasn't as good. The times were similar to the previous meeting at around 11.5s @ 121 mph but the big difference was with the timing corrections. My engine has always had heaps of timing corrections with 100% E85 and 98 ULP which has stifled the full potential of the car. I have been trying to find out what was causing these corrections thinking it must be some sort of mechanical noise that is being picked up by the knock sensors. Running the octane booster has almost eliminated any timing corrections which has me puzzled now as to why the timing corrections are present using 100% E85. The product I used was Nulon Pro Strength Octane Booster.

Datalog for 4th July 20 run.
