I want to run my race program on 103 octane or higher.

SoCal is a big place... you might be a bit more specific.

Are you looking for it out of the pump, can, drum?

Sunoco has it. There's a pump at Willow Springs, of course.

Blue Bayou,

Your specs look very stout!!
what turbos do you have with the water cooling?
where was your GT700 built?
did you have the car dynoed with the Europipe on it?
(I have Europipe and love it and am curious about its limits?)

Any pics of your car?

I am located in Newport Beach.

What turbos do you have with the water cooling? The turbos are the standard GT700 hybrids from Evolution Motorsports


Where was your GT700 built? Evolution Motorsports, AZ


Did you have the car dynoed with the Europipe on it? Yes, Todd is sending me the final dyno numbers. He told me a few weeks ago over the phone but I can’t remember them. I will post #'s later…

All I can say is the car is fast. I drove it for the first time in race mode with 109 in the tank. 1st, 2nd and 3rd were a controlled motion forward with the LSD working hard. I don’t have any numbers to share yet but I don’t think any super-bikes will be messing with me again.

If you want pump... The 76 station off the 73 toll road and Bonita Canyon exit. Pump 100 octane. I was there today. Also, the Huntington Beach car wash, ex-76 station, Garfield and Beach. 100 octane at the pump. They have a padlock on it because it doesn't have a card reader. It's in operation, you just have to get the guy's attention to unlock it. These are the two that I know of and frequent.

There's also a 76 station that sells 100 at the pump in Costa Mesa. It's near MacArthur and the 405.

The SoCal VP distributor is in Corona. If you want better gas than what 76 sells at the pump you can go there and buy it by the drum. They also have a pump there, but I doubt they'd let you fill up on race fuel in a street car. Besides, they have quite a few different options when it comes to street fuel for turbo cars and the good stuff needs to be purchased by the drum.

I've towed my car trailer over there quite a few times and purchased a drum or 2 of Street Blaze 103 to fill the on-board fuel station with.

Are you running leaded fuel? If that is the VP Motorsports 109 unleaded...the R+M/2 octane is only 105 for that fuel according to their website...Kevin

Ace Autoparts at Magnolia and Adams stocks VP racing fuel. I picked up some VP 109 (R+M/2= 105) in 5 gallon cans. They also have C16 and several other octanes. Leaded and unleaded, some have MTBE.

To run 103 octane you could fill up on 100 octane (76 on San Miguel)(HB Carwash Garfield and Beach Blvd) and sweeten it with some higher octane from Ace.

The most extreme fuel is VP import. 120+ motor octane and very expensive.

Just about any bike shop carries it. I get it from Mountain Motorsports and Pomona Valley Kawasaki in Ontario, and can get it from 1 gallon to 55 gallon drums.
There must be shops near you. Try calling them first

Also the 76 Station off the 405 at La Paz has 100 octane on the Pump. You can by 5 gallon cans of any type of VP race fuel at 3 Brother Racing in Costa Mesa (they are on Superior, just north of 16th street), which is close to you. And if you want a 55 gallon drum (much better pricing) they will order it in for you.
