Default Fuel Questions

So i just built my 1st "Sleeper" Raptor. It should be a drag machine! So my question is what fuel should i use in a built 686 12:1 ratio? Also has stage 1 hotcam =/. I figured i would have to use racing fuel but some others told me a mixture of race fuel and premium will work fine. Please comment!

AND FOR THOSE WHO DONT HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO DO, READ ON!! lol...

The Raptor chassis im using is a 2001 i picked up back in 02 or 03. I seized the motor in it and it basically seperated the case. Its the same raptor in my galleries just with a few years of sitting in the elements on it (rust and such). I got a good deal on a Never Ran 686 with the Stage 1 hotcam and put it all back together last night. I took pictures every step of the way. I also need to buy an exhaust and CDI for it. The CDI im looking at is a Dyna Fs or a Vortex x10. I also was looking at the Sparks Exhaust, i know those were good back when i was popular here. lol Well im taking opinons so let me have it!

Thanks all
Travis

Anything over 94 octane typically is racing fuel. Some is availible at the pump, others you have to buy by the can.
