As for your question/comment regarding the fuel, you can safely run leaner due to the detonation resistance you are correct. It does require roughly %5-%10 more fuel over a basic pump gas when it comes down to picking the right injector for your build if you intend on using an oxygenated race gas. Compare it to the way you can run leaner AFR on E85 thanks to it burning cooler and being more detonation resistant, but it demands 30% more fuel than pump gas. Also be mindful of brand as certain injectors do not like the MTBE oxygenated fuels.
Thanks,

Yeah, MS109 is what I was thinking of in my post. Some results on that fuel sometime would be awesome, both Turbo/SC and NA (like with Ecutek).
And I agree, a single dyno session or drag race pass here and there definitely won't kill anything. Problem is you get addicted to that power with all that octane and start running it more and more. :P
