You gain the power because you're burning a more powerful fuel.
To burn that fuel you need a specific amount of air. That value changes based on the fuel.

You aren't gaining power by burning more air.


If you burn race fuel with a similar octane rating as E85 then you will need to adjust the air volume but will make similar power.

You select parts to burn the fuel you have in mind.

We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind.
