Default mixing fuels

i am running a standalone setup.
93 through the motor and race gas in a dedicated nitrous cell.
ive had a few people tell me im going to blow my motor up because 2 different fuels dont mix.
doesnt everyone do this?
opinions?
11.2:1 stock 6.0 shortblock on a 150 shot.
pump gas in the factory tank, and c16 in the n2o cell.

Been running leaded race gas in my dedicated cell, and a mix of 94 and unleaded 104 in my main tank for years, literally 100's and 100's of passes. Never had any issues, but i could be the luckest person alive, maybe i should pick up a super lotto ticket.

Who ever told you this probably doesn't own a hot rod and if they do it's probably slower than a retarted kid.

Who ever told you that was not very educated in this area. Take it with a grain of salt and keep doing what you are doing. I run C-16 in all my dedicateds.

That's why this site is so good for the n2o users. the BS out there will be dispelled quickly here. I agree, no issues mixing, though your octane level will go down, or rather level out between the two, that's all.
