Speaking of octane boosters; we can buy leaded
racing gas in our area. Priced at $1.59 a gallon for
118. My qustion is, what would the best ratio be to
achieve around a 97 to 100 octane level if you use
93 unleaded as a base? I've noticed that when running
the cars on a mixture of this type of fuel the exhaust
burns out that ash gray color I remember in the days
before unleaded.
