I was just wondering what race fuel you all are running in your racing minis?

1st you will want to know your compression.
up to 150 and 93 octane is all that's needed.
150-190 and a mix of 3 gallons 110 and 2 gallons 93 for a target octane of 105.
Above 190 and 110 octane is recommended.
I like synthetic oils. My favorites in order are::
Torco GP-7 (torcousa.com)
Klotz R-50
Maxima SuperM
I ran Torco fuel (104 octane) but I bought it in 55 gallon drums. I use whatever fuel I can find now.

thanks

yep same place. i mix because i really dont need but about 102 octane. so by mixing the 111 or 118 with 87 i get about 102 and save money. billy told me not to mix with premium because there is some kind of addative in it that is not in regular. he says that addative is not good for our motors. actually i mix 3 gallons 111 to 2 gallons 87 which comes out to 103 octane. dont know why i put 50, 50 above.

Well let me ask then if running straight 111 am i getting too much detonation in reality or just wasting some money?

well i guess thst would have to be your call. at least you know you have enough octane. like i said i have ran bubbas at this mix for 3 years now with no engine failures, piston failures or blown head gaskets, just a bunch of broken cases but that didnt have anything to do with octane.lol by the way bubbas is back together with new cases again. it will probably be up for sale in about 6 months, if i cant get what i think its worth i will part it out. oh got josh's engine down putting in a new crank, he froze it up at atmore 2 weeks ago.
