Who here is running Ignite Red 114 (E90)?

As the topic states, who here is running Ignite Red 114? I'm curious as to how peoples experience have been with this fuel on our platform. Or any Ignite Racing Fuel for that matter. I've looked at many Race Ethanol options and this seems to be top tier stuff on par with OneEthanol.

I run it in my Turbo E46 and it's better than OneEthanol and been in production for a lot longer. It's a great fuel but overkill unless racing.

Awesome to hear you run it in your E46. I've heard a lot of people go back and fourth on what's the best Race Ethanol out there and I hear some say "OneEthanol is better than Ignite" and "Ignite is better than OneEthanol". Is there any particular reason why Ignite is better than OneEthanol from your experience, or is the difference very marginal? From my research, it seems you can't go wrong with either.

I have good results with Stinger brand race fuels, out of Insinger Performance in Delaware. Since I run a stock fuel system I get best performance from E80 mixed from 5gal of E-98 HP plus 1.1gal of Premium Pump gas. I siphon transfer my pail fuel into a couple SureCans (mini NASCAR like quick-fill tank) for easy and fast fueling at home. No spills no messes.

You might find that 98% ethanol is cheaper than E85/90 because of gasoline tax (pure Eth/Meth is considered a solvent, not a fuel!').

Hey Jimmy, thanks for the recommendation. I'm a long way from Delaware, so no Insinger won't be an option for me. I'm from Alaska so my options are very sparse. Many of the fuel dealers that used to once distribute fuel for all the racers in my city have backed out. However I might be able to get my hands on some Ignite.

Whatever makes you smile when you put the pedal down!
