well i am about to swap in my RB25 and i happened to get a Mine's tuned ecu. i was happy about it, but at the same time it got me worried. considering the car was modified, the owner of the engine probably ran the premium gasoline available in japan which is IIRC 100 octane.
since i live ine LA i can only pump 91, unless i want to pay $7 a gallon for 100 octane. i just wanted to ask everyone's opinions on octane boosters. are the good or bad? is it worth the extra money? OR do you guys think i would be okay just running regular 91 without detonation?

thanks

henry
