NOT!!! Cap't Bob can tell you why you don't want to try this... From what I
remember of his posts on Avgas, it is designed to ignite at a lower temperature
than automotive gasoline. The shear heat of a blown engine can cause it to
detonate (prematurely). I also have some real world experience trying to run a
327/365 Corvette on a blend of Avgas and premium auto gas. Didn't work very
well. Spend the money for Turbo-Blue or the other racing fuels to avoid blowing
up your engine.

Fill up on 100LL. It's 100 octaine, and LOADED with lead, contrary to it's
nomer as LL (low lead). Lead was used in car fuel, and is still used in AVGAS
not only to lubricate the top end but to decrease detonation.
I have not done this as I don't have a blower, but it should work wonderfully.
Of course it's not very legal, but anything in the interest of boomin' and
zoomin'.
