Running Race Fuel?
Will running race fuel such as 100 to 110 octane do any good for running at the track?
I'm not stock, but I don't really have a tune. Only one for the TM and fan controls.

Without a tune to optimize timing, A/F, etc. the higher octane will do nothing for performance, assuming your car is running correctly. In all actuallity it may hinder your performance.

If you are knocking you can add just enough 100 unleaded the get to zero KR
If you are not knocking it will slow you down and waste your money?
What track? road corse or dragstip? temps?
If you are beating on the car in high temps on the roadcorse 95 octane may help.

Until you reach the operating conditions, which for whatever reason, your car starts pulling timing the slower burn rate does you no good. Unless you car has some internal or electrical problem you will just be wasting money especially at the ambient temperature you stated.
