Straight race fuel probably won't do you much good unless you've done internal motor work. It works better in motors with a higher compression. You can blend race fuel with premium gas for some benefit. Usually at a 25/75 ratio like 1 gallon of race fuel to 3 gallons of premium.
It does smell good when it burns, I used to love seeing the AMA 250 GP class back in the day, 2 strokes on race fuel & pre-mix, smells volatile!!! Can't wait to see & smell the MotoGP 125 & 250's race in Indy!!!!

that U4.2 & MR9 is some very good fuel to run, can gain some hp by either one by just pouring it in and tuning afterwards |

true, but not worth the price unless you're racing.

Running race gas (100 octane, 110 octane, whatever is available) will only net you anything if your engine is tuned for it and realistically, you need to have control the timing advance in order to make a difference. Anyone who puts it in and thinks it makes a difference is probably experiencing the placebo affect. Race gas burns slower than regular gas. It doesn't magically make power.

Most octane boosters are worthless. Just keep the RPMs low and the throttle light and it will be fine. Burn through the tank taking it easy, and then fill it with 93. |

go buy the STP Octane booster. It only costs like $4 and it will boost it to around 100-110 octane. just dont pour the whole thing in your tank, only use like half at the most, cause its for cars. if your engine/motorcycle is new, i would NOT recommend using it until your engine is fully broken in.
