There is even a remnant of what appears to be some corrosion on the cylinder walls... I am stepping it up this year with a new block, and mega $$$ metric rings, and the last thing I want is to have corrosion issues wiping out those rings..

I can see oxygenated fuels doing this, but C-11 ??

Good alternatives to C-11 in a low compression combo ???

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

A number of racers have started using Renegade Pro 110 in lower compression engines. Very good vaporization, and easy to find.
I haven't run across any corrosion issues with the Renegade. Each manufacturer has their own formulas for race gas and some do cause corrosion.
