Race gas question
Race gas question Have any of you heard of Track Tech 111 octane race gas? Its what the local station has available and I've never heard of it. Supposedly it's made by the Conoco/Mobile company. I was told not to run Torco because it's crap and I'm wondering if this is any better. It's cheap too, around $4/gal.
Edit: It's called TrackTek 111 and its a Chevron/Phillips product. Must be fairly new to the market I'm guessing. I found a data sheet on Chevron's web site but am not exactly sure what to look for compared to known good gas like VP or Sunoco. Here's a bit of it, see the rest attached:
Research Octane #: 115
Motor Octane #: 106
Anti-knock index (R+M/2): 110
BTW, this is for a 13.5:1 race BBC engine, not my TA.
Thanks,
Craig

Motor octane of 106 I wouldn't feel that great with. I've had my best luck with VP race fuels. Torco being second choice. It's hard to find the exact fuel you really need. I always tend to error on the side of more octane.
I was told to run either Cam2, Turbo Blue, Sunoco or VP 110 by the guy I bought the car from. He said VP is the best but also the most expensive. He said to stay away from Torco because it was crap and none of his or his friends cars ran good on it. I've looked at almost all the one's he recommended and all have very similar MO, RO and R+M/2 numbers. There's so many different brands/types out there that it's getting confusing. I may have to try the TrackTek and Sunoco/VP back to back and see if the car ET's any differently.
