If I can get it, I like to run 100LL thru it and clean it out. Lately I'm adding a few gallons of VP C9/96oct racing fuel to whatever is in the tank. Runs even better with it. The engine is pushing 400 hp.
Sounds pretty great! That's good that it isn't too fuel sensitive. Nothing like going for a drive and not being able to find 93 Octane. That octane booster stuff they sell at gas stations isn't the same.

Have you dynoed it or is that just an estimate of power?
