I'm having my car chassis dynoed in a couple of weeks at Danbury Chassis dyno and would like to know if there is a gas station in the area that sells 100/+ octane gas?

Your best bet for consistency and fuel quality would be to buy two or three 5 Gal cans of the VP Racing Fuel you want to use and just bring them with you. They will all be quite close, and you can choose the octane target you want prior to purchase. Shucks you can even have them delivered to the dyno shop so you don't need to transport them in your car or trailer.

They will sell you race fuel in 5 gallon jugs.

Why? What is the engine's normal fuel spec? Unless the engine is tuned (timed) for it (and you plan on running 100 all the time) running higher octane won't get you more than 93.

Depending on your compression higher octane will not give you more power
