Nissan 370z fuel: 100, 98, 95 octane?

technically speaking a higher octane will not give you better performance unless you run a very aggressive ECU setting or engine is heavily modded (very high lift/ very long duration)

technically speaking a higher octane will not give you better performance unless you run a very aggressive ECU setting or engine is heavily modded (very high lift/ very long duration) and much higher compression ratios.

But then, you will need racegas, 100oct will definitely not be enough for such applications.
