With the recent developments in green fuel technology, one fuel has caught the eye of the modern tuner for both forced induction and naturally aspirated engines. E85 has been known to increase power and allow for more boost to be ran due to the blend of ethanol in the gasoline. Ethanol has a cooling effect on the engine due to two reasons. One, ethanol burns cooler. Two, while running ethanol you must run more fuel through the cylinders thus cooling them down as the temperature of the fuel is less than the engine. E85 race fuel has captured the tuning world by storm, but now there is an even more potent version that tops the likes of E85.
Ignite Racing Fuel is a clean burning and high octane fuel that provides the cooling affects of traditional alcohol fuels but lacks the top shelf prices you'd expect from a high performance fuel. Formulated by top chemists and produced by National Biofuel Distribution, Ignite Racing Fuel provides another choice for today's budget minded and patriotic performance enthusiast 
beyond the common use of E85. Used and proven by Eddie Bello, Texas Mile record holder for fastest Porsche, the conversion into using Ignite Racing Fuels yielded the Bello performance team an additional 71 horsepower and 114 pounds of torque while only running ten pounds of boost. Ignite Racing Fuel has also been the choice for Formula D drifter Stephan Verdier in his Crawford Performance built Royal Purple Subaru Impreza WRX STi. Choosing Ignite over conventional race fuel allowed Stephan to run cooler while driving sideways, combatting a typical ailment of drifters. Ignite has been proven in boosted motors and in the professional drifting circuit, but what about daily driven naturally aspirated performance built motors?
Using the popular Honda Civic VTEC, Modified Auto Designs of Indianapolis, Indiana compared E85 to Ignite Racing Fuel 108 on the dyno. While being fully tuned for E85 as it's the fuel used everyday in the Honda, they reported a front wheel horsepower of 210.9 horsepower. Then, they drained the E85 from the Honda and swapped to Ignite Racing Fuel 108. With only a few short runs on the dyno and minimal tuning, they were able to extract 219.5 front wheel horsepower. With a gain of 8.6 horsepower on a naturally aspirated engine, Ignite Racing Fuel has yet proven again it's superiority over other fuels. Since Ignite 108 has already shown tremendous gains against E85 pump gas, I look forward to seeing how much more Ignite 114 will blow E85 off the charts.
