You might wanna mix it half and half with 93 octane, your bike will love it.

Why waste your money? Our bikes were made to run on 93 octane.

I'm running 11.7-1 comp and it's stone ignorant with 91 ( all we can get out here ) hence my dual plugs and few other tricks , 96 or 100 mixed wakes the old girl rather nicely .

Stock twinkie unless your in the mountains or stuck with the ethanol blends it's bragging rights to the buddies is about all

We have some independents down here that sell race gas (either VP or F&L). I run a mix in my stroked small block in one of my cars. No places up north selling any race gas?

First owner of my bike always added octane boost each fill-up. The engine has had some serious work done on it...

Your engine requires the high octane racing fuel. If the op has a stage one motor, as in his signature, it's a waste of money.
