Corvette Specialties Auto Group Inc  11180 Scott Road, Surrey, BC V3V 8B8
B.C. Sunoco Race Fuel distributor
(604) 580-8388
NOS supreme is 120 octane

I used 115 octane to make 666AWHP (39 PSI)

Be careful of old race gas make sure the container is secure as the fuel sucks moisture from open air.
Don't forget to remove your O2 sensor (buy a plug for the O2 hole at Lordco)  for leaded race fuel.

You would get more power untill the race gas was gone then you would need a retune just tune on94

Why cant he just like burn a "race gas" chip then use that when it goes to the track Zach??  When he wants to run race gas all he would have to do is pop in the race gas tune chip and away you go... then pop in the "pump gas" chip for when hes done.

there is a guy that sells race fuel at Mission Raceway park too. 

There is also a guy out in Chilliwack that sells it and will bring it in.

As for cats and O2 sensors, you don't have to run C16 leaded fuel, they make good quality unleaded race fuels too  :)  VP StreetBlaze 105 is good stuff.

Or just run a methanol/water injection system.  Cost you the same as 2 or 3 5 gallon pails of race fuel and its always with you.

Race gas is safer to run than water/meth though.

if you have a steady diet of it yes.  But if you run out or are broke, then no bleeding way.  You can run huge boost and huge timing on race gas with a so-so tune and be safe.  But once you are back to pump gas you MUST change that tune PRONTO, or its a done deal.

Yeah race gas is always going to be a little bit easier, but if you're smart about the setup meth is cheaper, much less hassle and makes just as much power.
If you tune a car for race gas and forget to flip the switch (swap a chip, whatever) or even get a bad gallon of gas you're just as blown up as if a meth system fails.

yep lab top. keep two tunes on it and switch back and forth. just make sure your tune is right for what your running at the time.

You have to wire in a simple switch to a switched input in the AEM, and use the Nitrous fuel and timing maps to add/subtract fuel timing.  Thats the simple explanation, but it is a wee bit more involved than that.  It is definately doable.
