Indeed indeed.

I got a nice lesson in Octane ratings, compression, and pre-detonation from
the Sunoco rep.

I figure 100-105 Octane at my 11:1 compression (no turbo) should be quite
sufficient (stock pistons are 9.5:1).

When I add the turbo later, I'll use Hydrazine and N2O4 with a couple of
JATO SRB's strapped to the sides.

Of course that will definitely put me in the fuel class.

beggars cant be to choosy, but it might be a bright idea
to use the fuel that is Proper for your application

as opposed to using the wrong free fuel

ps it wont be the right fuel at Bonneville for the
gas classes
