I would have to say you were/are over octaned before. I use to use 114 in my car and dropped to a lower octane and went quicker(faster burn rate)
So I should cut the 110 with some 93? How much? Thanks

Taken from the VP website..
C12 The best all around racing fuel made. Recommended for CRs below 15:1, satisfying the needs of 75% of today's race engines. One of the winningest fuels in racing history, including Modified Tour, GNN, D.I.R.T., Indy Lights, NHRA, AMA as well as other local and national championships across the U.S. and around the world. Color: Green Motor Octane 108 Specific Gravity: .717 at 60° F
Based on several dyno tests with different fuels (specifically engines similar to yours), I would say that C12 is what would work best. I would be very surprised if anything yielded any power gains. I am not saying that you couldn't experiment with something else, but beware of subtle detonation that will make short work of your motor. Those types of builds are very dtonation sensitive. Bob K has you running a ton of total advance IIRC-which could make it more octane sensitive.

Tried 112 racing fuel and 105 avia fuel, Time is the same as racing gas !!! At 4.90 Gal to 9.00 gal
I've had the same results switching from 110 race fuel to 100LL AvGas, but you can't tell that to some people. CHIP

the last thing is most airplane don't travel close to the ground so the fuel is designed to be ran at higher altitudes, 5000 ft MSL or above is normal
So what do they do, take them to 5000 feet under a balloon and then drop them?
I was an aircraft owner for twenty years and seldom flew above 2000' MSL.
Drop them

1/2 QUART OF TRANNY FLUID TO A TANK FOR LUBRICATION Its a dry fuel, and will score the crap out of the cylinders and eat valve seats,
Kasey
Funny how some people say, "no tranny fluid in the diesel!" "It has no lubricating properties."
If you pour ATF in the gas it will lower the octane.
ATF is basically a high detergent 10 wt oil. Works good for cleaning the injectors on diesel motors. We had problems with our 550 Ford. Ran crappy. I did a scan test on it and showed problem injectors. We bought it used and was sorting thins out on it. Uncle was mechanic for years. Or since the dinosaurs roomed the earth we used to joke. Even working on the new engines that were out. He told me run tank real low and add 1 gallon of ATF than drive for a bit. Boss drove it daily being his daily vehicle. Came into shop a few days later telling me to rescan again. This thing is pulling hard now getting on the freeway. Rescanned and all injectors showed good.

I was an aircraft owner for twenty years and seldom flew above 2000' MSL.
I owned one for 15 yrs and seldom flew below 3000 FT, home airport was 3180 ft at the low end of the runway As you know John most pilot take off with the mixture set at full rich and don't think about leaning the mixture until their at or above 3000+ft MSL or at there cruising altitude. My point on the 100 LL is that it is very seldom ran at or above 2800 RPM and at sea level where you can make max power in a N/A airplane, it is avation fuel, not race gas

I like it. My car has 11-1 compression, with the 100LL, I check the plugs occasionally, there are no signs of detonation, or anything unusual. I also use it in my lawn mower, generator, garden tiller, and snowblower. I just love the smell, especially when blowing snow!
