It's not going to hurt it but it's probably not going to give it any kind of advantage either unless you adjust the timing accordingly. Not really worth messing with IMO

Exactly...for the price they prob want per gallon you would be better off sticking with 92

Do you guys know if the computer chips work in our cars like jet, hypertech, ect..I know this is off topic, but I have been wondering it for a while.

They are pretty much a waste. You are better off having the PCM programmed by PCMforless, MadZ28.com, etc

just out of curiusty would 104 or 107 be bad for the motor? like how 89 usually causes nocks would this cause some kind of bad reaction?
