I drive this thing everywhere on pump gas, no additives.
Race gas does nothing for this car, I've tried it. If the engine doesn't need it, it's wasted money.
I would ever do this with my concourse 69 numbers matching RAIII 400 Firebird Convertible. It's worth WAY too much to penny pinch like that. Better look at your plugs ….
