Better yet, anyone want to go in on buying a 55 gal drum of 116 oct? Ive only found one place that will sell it (Pro Line) and they only sell it in 55 gal drums and I wont be able to use it all before it goes "stale".
I knew they sold Cam 2 butI thought they sold 100 octane too.

i just got some 110 for $4.50/gal. i only got 5 gal to mix with my 93. i love the way it smells! i put it in and turned up the wick to 25psi. awesome difference from 20psi. its worth it every once in a while. but i would hate to have a car that had to run all the time for the expense.

i generally run 101LL (aviation fuel) for my stuff, and CAM2 on occasion, but i believe richard wants some unleaded so he doesnt clog that expensive ass cat.

i have had CAM2 foul out an O2 real fast, but it was after a week of running it. i usually pull my o2's out at the strip, since i will be in open loop anyway....and install some dummy ones.

some people have run leaded fuel and not had issues, but i would rather not risk it (cat was 200? i think and O2's aint cheap for it either! )

Any idea what the drum of 116 would cost? Just so we have some numbers? Seems like a CCVT sponsored purchase

Its been around a year since I checked but a 55gal drum was between 350 and 375 bucks if I remember correctly. Like I said, its been a while since I checked into it so i dunno what the price is now.

Damn, 55 @ 350 is 6.36 a gallon, the CCVT jews wont like that... But wouldnt that be great, for the next time we face UVA pick up a 55 gallon drum and just split it amongst everyone that paid and just watch the times skyrocket. We'd be like the russians on steroids
