Race fuel question
Found Sunoco 110 octane near me (dirt track in the area)..... too much octane, I think the car is tuned for 100?
Also, headed to Mont Tremblant, where I intend to use the 110 octane. If I need more, locally they only have 93/94...... is it okay to use additives, as in octane booster?
Thankx in advance.

Is your car tuned to utilize 100 octane?
Make sure lead free.
Don't waste your money on octane booster.

Both the 996 and 997 electronics handle 97-98 real well--you can even take a discount to that given that's an unverified "Chinese" rating at my home track in Zhuhai.
With these cars I'm not sure if there are performance gains with 100+ fuel, unless your ECU's been specifically tuned.

thankx guys! Also found out the 110 has lead, which will ruin the O2 sensor......I'll mix it in with regualr gas for the cars, lawnmowers, etc.......oh well, live and learn..... but thankx for the help.
