Dunno what your engine setup is, but any octane over what your engine needs is wasted. More octane does not necessarily = more HP.

first you only need high octane if you motor is built up and requires it. second, cam 2 is i believe leaded fuel which will put a hurt on your oxygen sensors!

CAM2 will destroy your O2s thus rendering your pre-cat O2's from delivering the proper amount of fuel to your engine.

I have CamII at a station by my house. Both the 100 and 110 octane are unleaded. So they wont hurt your o2s. But , as someone else said unless your motor requires more octane its a waste of money or can even slow your car down. Higher octane, slower burn. I raised my compression a tad so when I go to the track in this hot Fl weather, I mix in 100 gt 50/50. Look at the pump, it will tell you if its unleaded or not.

Leaded gas will lacquer up the front 02's and screw them up I only ran 5 gallons and they crapped out.

If I were to spray a 150 shot in my car I would run 104 or more octane to be safe.
