Stock IX Turbo: Race Gas
I see a lot of big whp #'s being put down with the stock IX turbo, mostly on race gas or very high octane gas. Do you people just fill your tank for single a dyno session or do you guys actually run this stuff on a regular basis. I'm talking about 104+octane or race gas. My car puts down 310whp and 325ft-lb all day long on 93 octane. I'm curious to see what it would put down on 104+ or race gas, but I could never afford to run that stuff on a daily basis.

most people use race fuel for just that purpose...racing. Go to the track (drag or circuit) and get the most out of your car. It's just not economical to run a fuel that costs much more then a 93 octane out of the pump.
However there are those people that don't daily drive their cars and only run race fuel when they take the car out for a joyride.
And there are those sick bastards who drive their cars only on a diet of race fuel and they use that car as a daily driver... Hey if I had the money to do it I know I would be one of these people!

OP, I run e-85 all day long everyday, and it costs less than 85oct by over a dollar. It's better than high octane race gas and is environmentally friendly, though not a long-term alternative for oil unfortunately (not yet anyway).

IF you buy it from a pump I am pretty sure it is pump fuel, it is less than racegas, and it makes mad powa...
However since you asked about gasoline and specifically 92 with a IX turbo, here is the result of one of our customers on the same type of dyno that you were on:

351/340 were his actual numbers on the dyno dynamics with S2s and 24ish psi from a IX turbo on his VIII
