Nope. It just runs with fewer knocks. 100 octane is really meant for MUCH higher compression engines or forced induction.

Yes, it is safe. But not necessary on a naturally aspirated VQ unless you are tuned for it.
I have a 2006 G35 Coupe 6MT with a tune, and one of my maps is tuned for 100 octane. It does yield a few more hp and smoothens out my powerband, but its nothing like forced induction. I only use my 100 octane performance map when I track the car. Mostly for additional safety since 100 octane would be less likely to knock. |
