Best Race Gas??

i get my race fuel for my race bike by the pallet as my sponsor pays half and the other rider takes the other half of it. we run U4.4 by VP race fuel company

well some of my 5 gallon cans of the U4.4 were damaged during shipment so i have some credit coming to me. i wanted to try some in my car though just to try out since i get a good deal and i have credit for some coming

after reading what happened to PG with the race gas i want to make sure i get the right kind for my car.

so after reading that thread i have to use only unleaded right?? so after doing some reading i have come to only 2 that i can use in my car that being the VP100 or aka Streetblaze 100 then the VP Motosport 109. the VP100 is actually street legal which i didn't know

so since i only have exp with the race fuel for my race bikes the guys that run this stuff in the cars all the time which one would you get for my car?? i have a NA engine with just bolt ons no SC or no Stroker

say price wasn't an issue bc i can get the two for the same deal. i am thinking of taking half my credit for the car fuel and the other half for the U4.4 i need.

i know it is a waste kinda but i would like to see how much better the car runs with it and see if there is a difference etc and save some for when i do a dyno run on the car so i can see the difference on the dyno btw pump and race gas. i know what a difference it makes on my race bike not just more power but how much better the bike runs and crisper throttle response so i am sure the car would be similar results no??

thanks in advance and worst case if nobody has exp with any of it i will just get the street legal one VP 100 since i know i can put that in the car. here is the spec info on the two if anyone wants to see

Why would we? It would be a monumental waste of money.

I have been using Sunoco GT 104 RON race fuel and its top quality as far as I can tell

I used the 109 RON mixed, but realized that it is an oxygenated fuel, which is wrong to use on a FI car. Maybe if you mix it for a NA car it can assist?

I did read it. I was responding to his SECOND post where he was asking why there weren't any replies yet. I don't think there will be, at least not for a while, because there's no need to run it in an M3 so until/unless he finds another racer, he's going to be waiting.

thanks for all the replies, yeah the U4.4 i use now in my race bike i won't be using bc it is spec for my bike so i know it won't be good for the car

i did see people mention the MS109 and VP100 on here before. worst case the VP100 is a pump replacement that is street legal so i can try that one and only get a couple 5 gal of MS109

i talked with some people that have been using MS109 and no problems so i will prob get that one, and i talked to my engine builder for my race bike i can even use it in there if i run out of the U4.4 so it works out both ways and the MS is cheaper then the U4 so i will be getting more cans

Highest unleaded fuel VP offers is Motorsports 109, best fuel for big power on forced induction application is VP Import. If the gains are significant enough to warrant your money, by all means do it, I can only see myself mix the MS109 with 91/93 for super hot track days to allow a buffer zone.
