The car had 5 gal of cheap 87 e10 already in it. To bring it up to a safe octane level for drag racing, I spiked it with an equal amount of 101 just to make the blend roughly 93-94 octane. When stalling a hot engine againt the converter it is prone to detonation. Just didnt want to hurt it. No hp gains were expected.
