Which racing fuel you run ?

I want to mix pump gas 94 octane with racing fuel...but I'm not sure which one. I think the VP motorsport 103 is ok...but I'm not sure.

Your opinion ?

My car 335xi with AA piggy. (active say the piggy is good for 91-98 octane)

And I have do some test and between the 91 and 94 pump gas... and big difference. Maybe with racing fuel...more hp. What you think about that ?

thanks

Don't know if it helps or not, but just for the heck of it I'll throw in some VP Motorsports 109. At a little over $8/gal. I don't do it very often.

$8 bucks!

Sunoco 260 GT 100, around $10/gallon for a 5 gallon drum.
Sunoco 260 GT Plus (104 oct), about the same price.

A million bucks for a $300,000 house, fifty bucks for $40 worth of gasoline - what kind of crazy place you living in?

Why did you go with MS103?

Hands down, the best unleaded gas to use is VP MS109.
It has a pump gas rating of 105, and it's the highest octane that we can use if you still have the cats on your car.

If I'm going to the strip, then I'll just stop by the 76 here by my work in Norco and throw in a couple gallons of 100 octane.

MS 109 is the best!

Of all the unleaded race fuels I've tried, VP109 has always worked the best. 30psi of boost on a 4G63 mitsu motor with a GT35R. No problem!
