Default Fuel question

Hey guys, i like the way my stang runs on 110 but its a pain in the *** to drive across town to get it and by the time im back fighting the traffic its almost gone. So does anyone know of a fuel adder/enricher/booster to add that works like 110?

I would stay away from additives and use the lowest octane fuel your engine needs... more than that, you are just wasting money... putting premium fuel in a car that does not need it will give you ZERO proformance gains...

What are your mods that make you think you need to run 110?

yea i appreciate you calling me an idiot....were running a DSS block, forged internals, Holley cam(510+ lift) alum heads, and upper and lower intake mani, msd box and distro, FPR, fuel pump.....150 shot of nitro. Think i should run 110 yet or just chance it with 93, considering my buddy just bent a push rod in his 302 when he sprayed on 93....not to mention 110 gives you another 30-50hsp, but i guess im just an unimformed idiot, huh?

unless your compression is sky high, theres no need for 110
i don't know about a 150 shot, but i doubt it needs that high octane either, and you only need it when you spray just buy gas at the track

also if you think puting 110 in your car magically increases hp you are misinformed yes
