Can any you guys tell me what kind of race fuel are running on your turbo cars? to what ratio do you mix it with pump gas or if you run straight race fuel? and finally, has any of you used sunoco 114 or 116 leaded race fuel?
TIA

as high a percentage of C16 as possible.
i basically drive it until it is on fumes, then put in 5 gallons of C16.
you'll like it, it smells much sweeter than unleaded.

Just remember that leaded gas and catalytic converters don't mix.
do any of you run toluene aka "rocket fuel" insted of race gas ?

with a stock fuel pump, 370 injectors, is it possible to boost higher than 10psi safely with 116 fuel?

well, that all depends on your setup.
i did 250 whp on 12 psi, open exhaust, tomei cams, 9.5:1 CR on 370's. they were definetly maxed out, and running static, giving me a nice, rough powerband above 6000 rpm. i probably would have hit 260 whp or so, but the injectors maxed out right at 250 whp.
i would say 12 psi is the max on C16 only. a T25 (if thats what you have) loses a lot of efficiency beyond that and you are more likely to lose top end power, and maybe gain a little midrange torque.
