Is racing fuel leaded? if so, your motor can hack it, but your catalytic converters can't.

The fuel won't help performance unless you tune it for the extra octane

You can get leaded and unleaded race gas. I believe vp112 is unleaded. 93 is pump gas not race gas

you can use unleaded race or 93 but your not going to see any improvements unless you change your tune

the only thing 112 will do is make you lighter... as in your wallet wont have as much money in it... yes vp112 is unleaded and like everyone else said you would need to be tuned for it for any advantage. running 93 you would benefit from a tune too but you could run it just to be safe knowing you have good gas. have fun, good luck and post some timeslips, pics and video if you can.
