Save some money and use c12 if that's all you're spraying.

I was thinking ms109 also

Those are oxygenated, so tune accordingly.

right, i think i may just run ms109. so wont be to bad on my 02's . i think it should be plenty for my car.

Do you plan on using it just when you race or all the time? If you switch back and forth, you're gonna find that it will be lean on the 109, if you don't put fuel in the tune. The oxygenated fuel requires more fuel, plus that has ethanol in it I believe. Neither of which is a bad thing if you can adjust accordingly. Check the price of c12 in your area, or even 110...you may be surprised.

in the standalone. yea all the time in there. get bluecat to tune it on that. then go to the track and dail it on off the plugs.

very few places around me that carry it. i know a dirt tracker that sells 110 leaded. then i got another buddy thats a vp dealer but he dont keep much on hand. c16 is what he runs and keeps mostly. but im sure he can get anything vp . was looking 5 gallons would probably last me all season if i can keep it sealed up in the tank the send it in. thats about 80-90 bucks off vp site for ms109. at the trake they keep. 108 i think and 112 octane aswell. its was 8 bucks a gallon and 9 last year. but i dont really trust that fuel to much. as iknow its untelling how long its been there and ive heard some guys getting rust and stuff when using it. im not running a filter on my standalone. i know bad ideal. but i strain my fuel thur a paint strainer. then thur another cloth like strainer pouring it into my fuel cell.

how long u think that fuel will last in one of those 5 gallon cans that vp ships the fuel in. i dont go to the track every weekend. and a gallon of fuel in a cell on a 200 hit should last for a while. basically i want the safest fuel to keep from detenation as its alrdy pushin the stock bottomend. i wish i would of pull the motor and gapped my rings this winter and offset them.

In my experience racing motorcycles the oxygenated fuels didnt keep their potentcy too long once opened. A few weeks at most before mph started going down. And dont leave it sit in your fuel system longer than overnight at the track, it has a tendency to break down and gum up quickly when exposed to air. I never had a problem keeping the non oxygenated fuels for a couple months at a time if I kept it sealed up.

When I was using nitrous I would just run c16 in the standalone. Now on my boosted setup I run pump/meth as a mild tune and my kill tune is with the unleaded-oxygenated Sunoco 104/meth.

Have your tune on point and you will be fine.
