Max boost on 98 or 100 Octane?

Hi fellow aussies

Just curious, how much boost are you guys running on our 98 Octane Optimax/BP Ultimate fuel?

Are any of you running Optimax Extreme 100 Octane yet?

Just curious what boost levels you're running safely.

Nice! How much boost are you running on normal pump fuel though?

Is VP-100 a race fuel? Is it the same as Optimax Extreme's 100 RON?

Which VP100 fuel are you using - the new ethanol 100 fuel or the performance unleaded 100 fuel?

Performance unleaded. Its sold at the pump here for $5.49 a gallon. A bit pricy but good insurance for high boost. This is my normal pump fuel. I run nothing else.........

Ah so your in the states that makes more sense. I am the VP Dealer for Western Australia hence why I was enquiring.

We now use mostly the new VP100 Street Blaze fuel which is there ethanol version of the performance unleaded. Great stuff but unfortunatly bit too pricey for the majority of road people.
