87 octane fuel in the Z

those octane boosters do almost nothing. you *might* get like 0.5 octane up at best.

you're better off just using it up (dont drive high rpm or push the car) or pour some toulene.

Agree on the booster, that stuff is junk. Most people misunderstand the "rating" on the front of the bottle - including me the first time I bought it.
