Btw did you kown that you can get pump fuel here in europe that has the same rating as most racefuel 102 octane to be precise.
Some cars here run on race fuel because it helps whit detantion and they can run more boost at the dragstrip or road course.
And run a diffrent map when they drive on the street and on pump fuel.

Running "race gas on the track with a special tune just for the track" is again, not a street car - by the very definition provided.
I use 104 unleaded Sunoco when I track he car - as insurance against detonation in the extreme conditions of hot lapping - but the car is not "tuned for 104" - it is "tuned for common premium pump gas".
There is no guarentee that when you are out one day that the "special octane" fuel you will need is on sale where you might be - so again, of you paln on driving the car asa true street car on pump gas that can be driven anywhere, it should be tuned for and use common pump gas
Otherwise - its a race car
And to get back to the topic, an 800rwph boosted V8 produces HUGE amounts of heat - that has to go somewhere - on the street, you simply upshift and cruise for a few miles, car is cooler and you hit it again - thats not track driving, but can be insane fun on the streets - no argument there.
