U CANT !!!!!! unless its way over 10:1 compression and has the bang.

U have to relize ,,racefuel ignites slower then regular fuel ,,the higher the octane the slower it ignites !!!!

So as an example,,,,,my engine was a 9.8:1 compression on 93 octane timing set @ 34,,,,,,now i run 12.5:1 compression solid lift cam and timing @36/37 with 110 octane ........i gained ~ 100HP and have to pay 7+ bucks per gallon,,,,,,i never do it again.
U loose tourqe and gain RPM so u automaticly loose life in the engine.

So why would u whant to do that ???????

But hey,,,i sell u my engine !!!!!!!!!!!! ~800 HP !! N/A !! @ 6800 RPM and max. ~ 7200 !

More or less what he said.

You could always add a huffer and jack up some boost. That would require race gas and you could spend lots of money.

I run a little in my 850. I do it early in the year to bring up any potential octane loss from old gas or if I have to buy marine gas. I keep an octane conversion chart in my boat so I will know how much 110 I need if I have to buy 89.

It has a cool smell.

If you've got gas money burning a hole in your pocket go with nitromethane. I love the smell of a top fuel dragster in the morning.........
