Question 100 / 110 Octane

Is there anything problem wise that could be caused by putting either one of these octanes in my T/A? Or at least half tank mixing w/ 93 octane? I have a cam so was just getting some opinions out here... Theres a place out by me selling 110 for 4.69/gal. Might as well since its not too much more than premium.

Then the car must have been detonating before adding the high octane fuel. That is the only way it will increase power, the ability to run more timing without detonating.

it was like 95 degrees and track temp was 135, im sure the comp pulled timing anyways. there is nothing wrong with running race gas in an LS1.

make sure its unleded. if its not, the nozzle wont fit in your fuel hole.
