Anybody try this stuff and will it work for me?

So Maximal is real close to the VP, the RON number is 116. We are running the Sunoco Maximal 116 And like it. I can't say it's better or worse than VP. Unless you are running 14:1 or more I don't see a reason to run it.

I just figured if mixed, it would have an octaine that would be more suitable for my semi-low compression. The 91 crap I`m stuck w/at the pump just falls shy in my opinion when I step on the loud pedal and don`t want to hurt it. 72 Dart 470 n/a BB stroker street car `THUMPER`...Check me out on FB Dominic Thumper for videos and lots of carb pics......760-900-3895.....
