Hey all. I have the option of running 100 octane fuel. this question should probably be added to your jetting ques but here goes. What are the advantages, disadvantages, Im sure i would have to change jetting? Or am I just safer to run pump gas?

I was bidding on a part and the seller emailed this to me. WHAT A FREAK!

Union 76 sells 100 octane? I wonder if it is the same as BP's Spirits 100. Is the 100 octane MON or RON? (motor octane or research octane). I know Spirits is 100 RON which comes around to sometihng like 95 MON. Which does wonders in running the KX, cause the jetting does not change much. I will say that running VP racing fuels has changed my jetting, which in my case has richened the entire band. Using Spirits did little richening, but was noticeable.

That video clip was Mike Metzger screwing around in his younger days.
