Anyone ever used Rockett Brand fuel?
http://www.rockettbrand.com/productspecs/specs.html
I'll be building a turbo bike over the winter and I'm beginning even now to collect parts for the build. Originally I had planned to do a full fuel system and run e85. However, the cheaper fuel cost isn't really that practical for a pure race bike when the stock fuel system should provide me with enough fuel for 280ish whp. Would I be ok on the 100, 111, or 114 octane? The reason I ask is because the 100 octane unleaded fuel is around $7.00 per gallon. Much more reasonable then c16.... By the way, how much do you guys pay for c16? I got quoted for $70ish/ 5 gallons.

gotta give VP the nod as well....how well you take care of it will also play a major role.

I ran up to 12 pounds of boost on Av gas strait from the airport. Here it's about $3.40 a gallon, it's 100 Oct. You just have to take a gas can. they want let you drive your bike up and put it in the tank.

The octane required will be dependent on the boost and timing control.

AV gas
Stick with VP, Go to their web or call them, they won't steer u wrong , AV gas has high octane , but low BTU's , burns slow , , airplane engines rev low ,like 3000 ,bikes have to have Fast burn , less time , U can mix AV with prem 50/50 , but gravity, BTU's still low , Been there done that wrong ,
