anyway i can run around 14 psi in good conditions on 91.

tune for the low(91 or whatever is available) and drive with the high(93,92) or add a can of torco with each fill up for that extra insurance. you wont feel the 10-20hp difference anyways but i dont understand why people tune to the ragged edge to get those highest possible peak numbers.

Any harm in tuning for 93 and running 101 for the track?

That is what I'm thinking, purely due to availability.

Why not meth? It does almost exactly what you want. 91 for driving around, but give high octane when you need it. It is not that expensive either. I just hooked up a meth kit, and I am very pleased with it.

I'm having mine tuned on 91 and running 101 for the track/rip sessions on the street...especially in warmer weather.

I want to try this, but since mine is a track car, I just go qith 104 in the tank. The meth kti is another variable that coudl fail.
Maybe when I turn up th boost.
