what race fuels or additives are u guys using with 93 octane fuels to make sure to avoid pinging in f/i cars? needs to be sensor n cat converter friendly. sunoco 100 oct has been suggested

If your gonna run an octane boost id run Torco, & depending on where your located they sell Sunoco 100 @ the pump in certain stations which is another alternative... I know a lot of Supercharged Vettes that use Torco w/ good luck...

E85 is what I run in mine. Works great if you can get it where you live. At $3.29 per gallon it's cheap for what it is. I only average 15mpg though. But I would rather have the safety of E85 than run 91 octane.

When i'm going to be racing I mix in some Shell URT 105 or Sunoco 98 since they are unleaded and don't have oxygen in them.

yeah thats what im leaning towards. cheaper than filling up with sunoco 100 every time. any idea on who sells it cheap bulk? prefer 10 x 32 oz bottles then a 5 gallon drum as i live in a condo n storing fuel is a no no.

Depends on where you live. They are local so it is easy for me to get some now. Friends stock it at the shop. Other than that, amazon with free shipping is the best bet.

$115 shipped for 6 bottles is amazon price. That is less than $20 a bottle.

Don't forget water/methanol injection. It has its own list of problems but I don't like giving up mileage or paying high prices for fuel to just cruise on. Only burn meth when in boost so after paying for the kit the costs are very low.
