Chemically between pump gas and race gas? I havent the clue how the bonds and bindings work with fuels. Even if I did, would you understand? If some rocket scientist went into detail about fuel...I'd be overwhelmed with terminology I've never heard of all the while lacking any understanding. I only understand the general idea that, when fuel is oxygenated, it displaces water, has a lower flash point, blah blah blah, making it highly more combustable. In this case, it's race fuel. Pump gas isnt oxygenated and takes more energy to ignite.

If lower octane then less resistance. That should equal easier combustable.
Basically it comes down to this: from a car standpoint I think the majority of the community will agree race fuel on a NA g35 will not yield much more over 93...however, if you want to talk about rocket science and how properties of race gas is this and that, this is the wrong place. It sounds like you believe something anyway regardless of what we say. If so, put in C16 and have fun...I wish I bothered to put race gas in my Supra...even then I kept it on 93 and she ripped any car I came across...
