Default How much octane is safe to run in ..............

ghl downpipes no cats
ghl exhaust
x-chip
k and n drop in (going in today got rid of my evo intake)
right now my car has 104 sunco gt race fuel with
the n0s 3pt octane booster

also the 104 makes the car shoot flames
will more octane worsen this

As long as it's not leaded it doesn't matter.

Default Octane booster is junk. As long as the fuel is unleaded you are good to go.

Ususally you will not find unleaded fuel 110+. Your best bet is 104oct. Besides if you don't have the programing to go with the fuel then it is not worth it.

Default tru dat

boost, ignition advance and IAT, determine how much octane is needed.

more than that is a waste, unless you live in high ambient temp environments

the hardware you have added after the turbo's is irrelevant
