don't waste your money on 110, it's not going to add any power to a stock truck. most guys that run race gas have a secondary fuel cell on a switch

I was JFWY in the first post

Running race fuel on a stock engine is a waste of $$$. There is no power gain and your catalytic converters will go bad.

Unleaded race fuel would be fine, but unless you are seeing knock retard, it isnt going to net you any power gains and possibly power loss.
It sure smells good though. We can get unleaded race fuel with 104 octane, but is very expensive.

VP makes a 109 octane race unleaded, but it's oxygenated so it leans out the mixture unless its tuned for it, and it's $15/gl.

It's cheaper to run E85 and the smell is just as good. It'll make people run to Piccadilly to get carrot souffle or something.
