I understand basic principles of octane. Too much octane will not be good on an NA engine and too low octane on a high power engine is bad. Things in between would be such as having probably 98 or something to play safely with higher boost. I remember a post way back by boosteds14 about his drive with 21psi I think and 100 octane and I think his result was a thrown bearing. I must have gave the wrong impression with this thread because it sure did start off wrong. I guess what I learned from the most part is you guys can't give me specific info to help me out but you can vaguely tell me how to at least be safer. I will probably be running low boost like 5 psi with 91 octane and move on up from there with some trial and error. Hopefully not too much error with some advise from more experienced people such as boosteds14, like i mentioned earlier, and everyone else on Zilvia.
