No Dont run 110 in your blaster.....You dont run high octain fuel unless your running high compression...you will burn it up....91-93 is just fine....

Actually, you won't "burn" your engine from running higher octane than needed, but you will be giving up a little power. Your best engine performance will be found at the lowest octane possible without creating a ping. Here is a great article where this subject is covered in detail.

octane v. horsepower

HoundDog06....Your right on the performance part....I just did not go into detail....Austin has a 86 tri-z (Boy that thing is fun to ride..) Anyway....We put some 111 fuel that we burn in are rappys...But we mix it we dont run strait 111....But we put it in the tri-z and we thought we had the jetting right.....It was just a little lean....Burned a hole in the pistion...And it was a new pistion we had just put it in like a month before she went......But now I just play it safe..and run it in the high compression motors....
