Ok so to clear up the whole gas thing. Maybe I should have said you don't have to run 110 octane fuel. Most fuel companies do sell a low octane race gas like 100 or 104.
The benefit of running race fuels is the fact that they are more consistant as opposed to regular pump fuel. That is why I said go to a highly popular gas station to make sure you have at lease fresh gas vs driving to bum f*** to save a few pennies on gas.
I tell alot of my clients that if they are insistant on running race gas, find the lowest octane you can, and you'll be fine and make more power doing so, unless you wanna purchase real race fuels like MR10 or PRO V-1 which are all in the low 90's in octane.
