Well I am assuming you use premium gas to start with and I am not sure if u will get to 100 by using that stuff but i use klotz and it gets me a few more not to 100 though. I used to used air plane fuel and put octane booster in it and it got me over 100. You could also but any racing fuel....like VP.

Just wondering if you acctually need over 93.

What kind of compression are you running.

You don't Need race gas until you get over the 11-1 ratio's which is about 160 or higher psi of compression.

9:1 - regular 86/87
11:1 - premium 93/95
12:1 - racing 104/110
13:1 and up - racing 114+

i been doing compression tests and theyre reading 126-130 everytime. i been getting terrible pinging noises at full throttle and coming down to a idle so rick and bubba suggested using race gas.

my dad keeps telling me the 93 i put in it is sh*t because we buy it from this weird gas station. he keeps telling me to go to sunoco and buy 94 so i will drain my tank and try the sunoco 94 in a few days

Anyone know if you can use Aviation fuel for race mod applications? I've heard that it has additives not good for quad motors. I know it's quite a bit cheaper than race fuel. Thanks.
