Fuel additive help please!
So I am taking my LS1 to the track for the first time this weekend and I want to be running in tip top shape. My question is: Will it be hard on my LS1 to put 91 octane fuel + an octane boost fuel additive? I have run it on 89 octane with this additive before and it ran fine. Another factor to this may be that I recently ended up with a small amount of bad gas (not sure what the problem was) and it has made her run a little sluggish. I want to give it what it needs to run at its best but I also don't want to blow it up. PLEASE HELP.

the cars are made to run on premium, octane boost is crap and a waste of money...it ran "fine" because the car will pull timing so it doesn't ping, but it will not be running its best
always use 91+ fuel, I had shell 93 in mine last weekend at the track and it was still pulling a couple degrees (I think it was really 91) so I put in a small amount of 110 but it started raining so I didn't get to try it out

Octane booster make 91 into like 91.2. It's all in your head. All it does is lighten your wallet. Do some research on octane booster on google. Best thing to do is optimise your combo with a tune, even if stock.
