But also look at the evaporation temperatures. C-12 is going to flash at a much lower temperature, and more consistantly due to the quality of the fuel. When the conditions are right, it will vaporize, (reach it's flash point) all of it. Unlike pump gas that might or might not because who the hell knows what it even is from one fill-up to the next?
With the race gas, your jetting will be very consistant and very easy to determine when you are going the right direction when playing with it.
BTW, carvr must be out playing this weekend since he hasn't piped up yet. Ha!!
One more thing. C-12 sells for $5 a gallon here. Premium pump gas is $3.20. Only a buck eighty seperates the two, cost wise.
One more thing, again. C-12 is 108 octane. Vince was pointing out that the higher the octane the slower the fuel burns. I don't know about that. I do know that it's less likely to flash at the temperatures generated in the head of a KX or a KDX. So not as likely to ping. If it does burn slower, and I've no reason to doubt it, then if timing is retarded (advanced? I get confused) to a point where the motor has more time to burn the fuel, then power will also be increased. I've heard that timing can provide more low-end power. Introducing a fuel that burns slower would be a good thing in that instance. I now seem to recall I set my timing to 3 extra degrees before TDC than stock. That should allow a slower burning fuel more time to burn before the exhaust port opens.
Which brings me to my very last thing. How would the KIPS valve affect the overall time that the fuel has to burn in the combustion chamber before it opens. It's an RPM thing, but does that mean at high RPM's there isn't as much time or engine cranking degrees to burn the fuel in the motor?
I don't blame anyone for not understanding my ramblings. I'm just sitting here on the porch in my rocking chair, killing time, a six pack and some Chinese food until my bike arrives. I re-read this and don't understand most of what I was trying to say.....
