Sunoco race fuels

I was just browsing sunoco's website, looking at their race fuel varietys and I'm looking for a little feedback.

IF, you had the option, what would you want to have on tap?

Octane level, brand, conventional, unleaded?

Heres the links to some of the stuff I was looking at...

The unleaded 260 GT is perfect for my setup. 100 octane mix with our Cali 91 junk gets the job done for me. And I can get some locally. I might go and get some today. Good find and info AKAUF.

From: somewhere testing various tires, brakes, and suspensions.
When I tuned for high psi for events I used the 100 oct unleaded. Now with a few new mods I am hitting the same whp without having to run high psi and this fuel -- keeps my costs down.

But the 100oct worked well for me.

I tuned with a mix of 110 on my car..I always mostly when I go to drag events buy a 5 gallon drum of 260GT which is 109 unleaded and works fine...Love the smell too! I prefer over VP and it's cheaper!

Thanks for the feedback guys!!

The reason I started this thread is because I work at a local oil/fuel distributer and my boss mentioned having interest in the past for bringing in race fuel but didn't think he'd be able to move it. I wanted to see what would be ideal and then compare to what he can get.

I'll get on that tomorrow at work and see what he can get. Mybe I'll get my own personal pump !!! Once I figure out what he can get for sure this could be moved to the NE region forum and gauge some interest with the locals.

also the unleaded 260 gt and gt plus caught my eye as I know leaded fuel distroys o2 sensors over time so that would be an added cost over time for a couple more octane.

Glad to see thats a fuel of choice for you guys now just to get my hands on that stuff in bulk!!
