Just use a bit of redline lead substitute when it's about to do serious work - eg rolling road, drag racing, etc... Can't be bothered measuring cupfulls every time i fill my tank though!

Sold the turbo and seeing what the C20XE can do!

Near Lincoln

I use castrol valvemaster with octane booster. Easy to use when filling up too.
Use it with optimax when i can.

I seem to recall that none of the 'lead balls in a can' and 'marbles in a tube' products actually met the DOT / FHMV (or whoever it was!) requirements for providing adequate protection against VSR during the testing they did a few years back!

A bit like a "prozone" that goes in your fuel line to add a lead substitute to your fuel.

I use optimax and Millers CVL (101 octane Mmmm).

Optimax and milers VSP is what I would use for road use though.

I thought it was lower (100).

At least the Avgas my mate uses in his 2 stroke racing bike is only 100 octane.

I guess you can buy it with different octane values
