Running 110 Leaded race fuel daily

Talk about modifications, or anything else associated with performance enhancements. Have a new idea for performance/reliability? Post it here. No idea is stupid! (please use Detailing and Appearance for cosmetic ideas)

I buy that direct from the Barrel about 15 miles away from here (and WCBF attendees do too). But you have issues that need to be fixed besides an octane bandaid, and $7 per gallon for the Rockett Blue 100 doesn't sound like much of a solution, does it?

I think he is wanting to do this for every tank and not just for the track? If im understanding what hes getting at and by the title of the thread.

I did find a lot of info by just searching for Rocket Brand Race fuel. I wouldnt run leaded with unleaded.

Yes, he has KR and wants to make it disappear using a high octane fuel, instead of actually solving the mechanical issue.

The price of tea in China might help too. The problem is that there has been zero troubleshooting on the car to determine if it's real KR (and what the cause may be) or whether it's mechanical false knock.

Any L67 that can't run on 91 octane needs to be repaired.
