Default need help with race fuel

Ok,
Im going to the track on weds i think, not positive. first time ive ever ran my car.

they haev race fuel there (110 i believe)
i have NO internal mods, no tuning. VAFC, 310s, FMU, and inline pump. is it even worth it to run the race fuel?

i run 7psi, is it SAFE to turn it up to say 10? like i said i have NO tuning or internals, is this wasting my time? please give advice, and dont just say "yes" give me insight and help me learn

stick with your 7psi and run it like that maybe 8 or 9psi with some 104 octane should be safe as well but dont really push it.

Now to add to this topic, I had a question about racegas in MY car...

Tuned AFC hack setup at 8psio (spikes 9 only through 1st gear shift). My base timing is at 13-14deg.... if I ran 100+ octane could I put my timing SAFETLY back to stock for a day at the track? or mabye even advance it? I'm very awry about timing since it kills motors more then most think, which is why I'm asking you experts out there.....

You're only running ~2 degrees of retard from the distributer. I'd put in a couple gallons of 104 and run the car the way it is. If you were running a BTM to allow you to retard your timing in boost then i would say yes, you can experiment with running stock base timing w/ atleast 104 octane. But since you're just retarding the timing manually at the distributer, i would play it safe and keep it retarded a few degrees.
