I ran a 13.1 to 1 W5 headed smallblock for years with 110 with zero issues. 32 degrees timing, 7400-7500 at the stripe. 95% of the time i was pumping the sunoco out of 55 gallon drums i would buy. Known good fuel.

Sunoco was so lousy, I would not try to get away with running it on the edge. Maybe it's different now. Switching to VP made life easier.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

For a quarter of the price try it on Avgas, see if it goes slower

I've run Sunoco with good results. Its not oxygenated like the VP and requires some attention. I'm experimenting with Klotz additive and 93 pump gas. At 12.5 no problems and it will be cheaper than Sunoco or VP. No bad plug coatings. It lasts indefinitely in the metal can. There may be a few HP with the race gas but I'm just running an index. http://apkgroup.com/msds/english/MSDS%20by%20Supplier/Winner%27s%20Circle%20(Klotz%20Synthetics)%20(WNC)/KL602(05-08-2017).pdf Hopefully it has iso-octane (reference fuel of 100 RON/MON) and not n-octane (-17 MON, -20 RON). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octane_rating
