Some race fuels are harmful to some components on our cars but a little wont hurt I guess.And the booster I used took me to 94.6 16points for $7.50 not as afective as race fuel mixed in but $10 a gallon for 104 octane race fuel is a bit much,well maybe when I go to the 1/4.

I just used the "locator" on that Sunoco site to see where it was sold and where I could get it. There's a place about 20 minutes from me that has it, so I'll be heading there towards the end of the week (when my current tank runs down) and I'll letcha know how much it is.

But, for an 18 gallon tank, you would use 4 gallons of race gas + 14 gallons of 93 octane, and that'll give ya 94.5 octane.

just checked out my log I took this morning - first one since putting in the octane booster... at WOT, I'm getting ALL of the 28.5* of spark/timing advance!! NICE!!
and only 1 blip for about 1/3 of a second of 0.3 KR when I let off the throttle... WOOHOO!!

Unleaded was listed at 100 and 104 vs leaded 110, 114 aqnd 116 if I recall correctly. I thought the lead is what killed the cats not some other additive.

yeah, you don't want to use the leaded...
CAM2 is also the Sunoco... here's a blurb from the Sunoco site...
"Sunoco 260 GT 100 Unleaded is available at selected locations throughout the U.S. In certain areas, Sunoco 260 GT 100 Unleaded is available under the CAM2 GT 100 label."
Try using the station locator they have...

Around here in Toledo Ohio, there are a lot of Sunoco's and Speedways both. None of the Sunoco's carry the 100 octane 260 gt though. Two of the Speedways carry the cam 2 110 octane. On the Sunoco website posted above, some speedways in other parts of Ohio carry the 260 gt stuff. Makes me wonder how closely related the two stations are. Now I don't know that much about the cam 2 110 octane, it may be leaded. Lead may be bad for your converter, but leaded gas is basically good for an engine, bad for environment. Although I don't know if leaded gas would bad for the injectors or not either. My car is under warr, and at $5.40/gal I'm goiing to try it. Maybe 2 gallons/tank to start with.

I saw that but none of those are near Toledo Oh. Looks like Cleveland, Columbus and further south mostly. At least a couple hours away, Cleveland maybe an hour and a half.

at the end of the run, the highest spark/timing I achieve is 26.5*, with the ambient air temp still at 87.8, and the intake air temp down to 109.
again, these numbers are from when I'm at 100% throttle position.... the spark/timing is less before I get up to there... from about 60% throttle, it starts at 21.5* and builds up to the 23.5* at 100% throttle.
Before the octane booster, the highest spark/timing I have EVER seen is 27* at 90% throttle - and that was only a couple times... most of the time the highest it gets is the 26.5* --- that is, until I used the booster!!
