make sure the 100 in unleaded, but then you can use it, for FI'er it makes a huge difference, it really wakens the blower!

its great if you need the extra octane for f.i, or n20, otherwise a waste of money unless you have detonation issues.

The 100 octane will burn cooler and cleaner, leaving fewer deposit build up in the combustion chamber.

for the detonation(pinging), can the timing be adjusted or is it self adjusting.
