Octane Testing

Hey Guys, I have searched around a bit and I can't really find any straight answers. Does anyone know where I can have some race gas tested in the suffolk county area? A new gas station opened up very close to home and it is adverstising "Cam2" on the pump. I am a little suspect and I would like to take it somewhere and see exactly what it is. I believe they are claiming 104 octane, but who really knows. Any help/info is appreciated

Cam2 is Sunoco Racing gas. Unleaded 100-104 octane. Its good. I have run it for my high psi tuning.

104 unleaded. If I recall this stuff, it is great if you run it pure, but it doesn't dilute very well. So don't mix it with normal pump gas. Run it straight.

If its CAM2 its unleaded.

Smike is right. The CAM2 thing is just a marketing deal. I don't think Lukoil or ExxonMobil want to sell "Sunoco" race gas from their pumps.
