If it's a race car, use race gas.

I used to use 100LL avgas when I had a "low" compression engine built to last several races, when I got up above 12:1 I began using real race gas.

Currently I use VP C-12. Essentially equivalent is Sunoco purple. Ask around at your local speed shops to find a retailer, which can be in strange places (my VP retailer is a heavy equipment rental company whose office manager is a circle track guy; local Sunoco retailer is a motorsport machine shop).

Nice article at www.vpracingfuels.com/page469659.html -- the top half is why VP is so great, but the bottom half gives some nice tech info on race gas.

I use low-lead 100 octane aircraft fuel in my TR3 with 12.5-1 compression.
I have never had any problems, but am wondering if I have sufficient
octane. If I need more octane, should I make a blend by adding race fuel?
