Default race fuel

Any one ever run RACE FUEL in the stock LT1? The local gas station sells the stuff. I don't remember the extact kind, but I think its 103 octane. What do you guys think.

Unless you're gonna pump 30-pounds of boost ... why?

Theres no point in a stock LT1, you'll just be wasting money.

If it has lead in it, and I think it does it will kill the O2 sensors and the cats. Like what was already said, you do not need that much octane in a stock LT-1

Like Bartnum and Bailey once said, "a fool and his money are soon parted" with a stock motor of any kind past 1968 its pretty much a waste of time and will cause more problems than you want to deal with.
