sunoco 110 octane????

A local sunoco station has 110 octane fuel for $7.99 a gallon. I have dinan stage 2 rev2. If I fill up with this, a) will I do any damage to my car/engine and b) will I notice a difference in power?
Or should I mix 50% 93octane with 50%110octane?
Has anyone used it yet with the flash???

run your car down on gas and put a few gallons in, flog the car and you will see a good HP increase. You can probably mis 50/50 w 93 and the 110 and see a good HP increase as well.

DO NOT PUT THAT LEADED FUEL IN YOUR CAR! If it is the sunoco 110 octane "Purple" it contains lead and will screw up your CATS and O2 sensors.

Now with high octane unleaded like Sunoco GT100 or VP Racings unleaded fuels you'll see a nice bump in power.

I like the street blaze VP Fuels with no/very little ethanol.

^^^ +1 make sure its not leaded race gas!

I know a few people that did some good damage running leaded race gas in their street cars.

I just called the station and the guy said he's "pretty sure" it's UNleaded. I don't trust "pretty sure" with my ride. What does sunoco have that is unleaded over 100 octane?

I believe the highest sunoco unleaded is 104 octane, but its not "street legal"

highest octane of any street legal fuel is 100 according to the sunoco website

None, the highest octane unleaded Sunonco carries is 104 Cam GT Plus.

I just drove by the station and the pump says 110 octane NOT STREET LEGAL! i think it said maybe "cam" or "c2" or something to that effect. Needless to say I did NOT fill up!
