Anyone knows where to get some 107-110 octane racing fuel, I'm located southeast of Chicago. Will ride a few hours for good price on 55 Gal drum.

Any motorcycle shop can supply race fuel by the drum. Most get weekly fuel deliveries.Quote:

I will look into it, but it seems to be a market that is limited here.

Will do, Thanks glennsexton,
Here's the Ill. listings for Rocket Racing fuel. This company is where most of the Union 76 racing fuel guys ended up after the company split up.

Tell 'em I sent you
jerry clayton, Thanks, will do.
You could call U.S. 41 drag strip, maybe they could get it for you. They are fairly close to Chicago.
Why not just use E-85??? 105 or better, starts good in high compression motors and dirt cheap. $1.35 today at Holiday.
1.35? that crap is about 240-250 here!
Going to look into it, don't no much about E-85. But there is a station about five miles from me that carries it for about $1.85 gal. A hold lot cheaper that
VP-110 which here is going for about $9.75 to $12.00 dollars a gallon. It is such a discouraging thing to me and I'm sure others who have high compression engines. The dealers are just plan Greedy!
Takes a bit of carb work to switch to E-85 but if you're going to run high compression it's definitely worth it. Locally, it runs 104 to 106 octane and the price today was $1.42. AED sells E-85 calibrated carbs as well as a few other companies... We run a Vindicator modified carb on a BBF, flows 930 CFM and works fantastic at 12.5 CR!!!! The extra octane also allows you to run a bit more on the timing which generally will help performance, too Should be a shop or two in your area well versed in the necessary mods. IMO, definitely worth checking in to.....Quote:

If you can't find any good info locally let me know. There's a shop in the area that does lots of performance work on E-85 powered cars..... Sharp dude on the tune up and potential when running E-85!!!!Quote:
