I've been reading some of the posts on this forum and now I'm wondering if the fuel I use is the right stuff. I have a 12 to 1 464ci Buick, aluminum heads, solid cam (nitrous profile) MSD dig. 7, the pro cap, timing is locked out @ 36 deg. and I have a NX gemini twin single stage plate, I shift @6400 and never go past 6600rpm, th400 4500 stall 3.70 rear gear. I hit it with 200, but may step up to the 300 for 1/8th mile races. Motor is pretty fresh, has gone 6.69 @ 104 on motor, and a hard launching traction limited pass on the bottle of a 6.31 @ 112, getting out of it and skating down the track. I run either Sonoco 110, or VP 110 when the Sonoco pump is down, I trade car storage for race gas, a pretty good deal, but like I said, is this the wrong fuel to run? I think I'll be told "no", but I have such a great deal using my buddies race gas card for keeping his cars at my house, I might not want to hear it. Ya know what I mean?? What do you think, am I just getting away with it, or is a problem in my future? I do know that if I do step up to the 300, I will run at least c-16 or something like that. Hope this is enough info. and thanks in advance.

One thing I forgot to mention, I have a seperate fuel system feeding the nitrous unit, 1 gal. cell a Holley "blue" w/spring upgrade, and a bypass regulator. I set my fuel press. flowing.
