The only difference it will make is a lighter wallet.

higher octane wont do anything unless you have a tune for it.

Not worth doing unless your car is tuned for more then 105 octane. Running 110 on a pump file will actually cause the engine to produce more power and even misfire.

well im mainly wondering about a mix of 92 and 110. i have been looking for ever around the area and cannot find 93 period. most places only have 91, but our super america has 92 (questionable quality though) o and yes it does contain lead so i guess its out of the question.

You really wont notice the difference between 91 and 93 unless you were alot more modified.

Also, you can get 110 w/o lead, but if it did have lead, your cat would dye very fast.

And no point in running it with a turbo that cant run any more psi and you arent going to increase the timing
