Default Race gas and the Radix??
would it benefit me to put race gas in my truck if its not tuned for it. i know if its tuned itll show good gains with the radix, but i cant get it retuned right now and im fixing to head to the track sat. and wanted to know if it would help to throw some racegas in there.

probably not. unless you are experiencing kr now. the race gas will allow you to push your tune further, more boost, more timing, and so on.

It could hurt performance if not tuned for the higher octane.
On a side note.....would adding a pint of Lucas fuel additive do anything?

I run Lucas OB from time to time. It does reduce KR a bit.
