this isnt gonna be a hands down win. I looked it up a bit on these cars and people are running mid to high 13's with them on all stock motor. So with the mods you have your only looking at around the same times. This is gonna come down to the driver.

If you are going to the trouble of changing octane, are you changing the timing to reap more benefits? More octane does not alway compute to more power unless you change the timing to take advantage of it.

very true. unless you have a way to tune the car or change timing your not gonna see any noticable gain.

well one thing you get with a cooler octane tuned or not is a cooler burn and less knock so he could run a few more PSI if his fue system would allow it then he would def see something from the fuel
