Default c12 or 112Octane? How far can it go?

I have a local facility near me that sells 112 octane fuel for about half the price of c16. Im wondering if anyone has used c12 or 112 and how far have they been able to push this fuel.

what are you aiming for with your build. lay out the details and I'm sure you will get some good feedback.

without getting into specifics. Gsr on boost.
looking for at least 600 out of 112. doable? or has it been done before?

Made over 600 on c16 no issues.

should be good. ive seen 530-545whp on 17-18 psi on 93 octane on a stock sleeve built b20vtec with a golden eagle block guard. so im sure 112 for your setup should be fine as long as its tuned well.

What brand 112, is it sealed? Is it consistent...

Consistently getting the same fuel blend is the KEY unless you plan on retuning each time you order up new fuel

has anyone on here tried using 100LL AVGAS. I use it in my lawn equipment, it loves it. I used it in my old d16 turbo setup at 10psi, it loved it and pulled harder when i used it vs 93 octane. my dad uses it in his 440 blown big block cuda running 10-12psi and never had a problem with, and my dad also uses it in his 13:1 compression hemi cuda race car and has no problems with it. Outside of me, my dad and a couple of other locals, i havent heard alot of using this fuel. im just wondering if anyone here on honda tech has done a write up on this fuel.

This is all the info I have on the Gas. Lmk if anything looks odd.

It is supposedly consistent and you can buy it sealed in a barrel or they can fill whatever container you take in from there steel drums they have out back. I am in Ca so 91 is our max pump and E85 is too far out of reach.

I considered 100LL AVGAS as I live right beside a
municipal airport lol, but there's a filling station not too far from me that has a Sunoco 110 pump.

theres many mixed discussions about the octane rating of 100LL AVGAS. if i was not running e85 in my car, i would probably be running 100LL AVGAS, cause from my experiences and what i've seen, 100LL performed just the same as 110. i know true conclusions need to be backed up by dyno and track results with afr and timing graphs between each fuels.
