Would love to try it out and see if there's a difference, but I haven't been able to find it anywhere near me...Has anyone seen it around the NY/ Long Island/NJ area?

Try the Citgo station in Flushing on Northern Blvd. and about 157 Strret....The street might be off by a block or 2 but it's on Northern Blvd. THey carry the 100+ octane there at about $6 gallon. Good luck.

if you can't find race gas, make your own.

x = gallons of gas
y = gallons of toulene
z = total amount
x+y=z
x/z*93 + y/z*114 = total octane
================================
some quick done math if you want to try the toulene:
For: 101.2 Octane
x = 6
y = 4
z = 10
x/z*93 + y/z*114 = total octane
6/10*93 + 4/10*114 = 101.2
(55.8 + 45.6)
For: 98.25 Octane
x = 6
y = 2
z = 8
x/z*93 + y/z*114 = total octane
6/8*93 + 2/8*114 = 98.25
(69.75 + 28.5)
it is safe ..... however don't try to mix up 120 Octane ... i generally wouldn't recommend running over 105-107 Octane .... most guys in the turbo crowd do this trick, its easy & fairly affordable race gas ....
I personally have ran it quite a few times ... and i never had any issues.
