That would raise your compression def. over what 91 would safely let you handle. How high where you reving and what compression where your pistons ?

Sorry, I thought you were driving a Z.

What do you do if you can't get 94 octane?

Why go to 94 octane unless you're running 12:1 or greater compression?

I think she drives a type R or has a type R swap those are 11.5:1 from the factory so giving that list of internal work I'm assuming it's been rasied to the 12:1 or higher. Most that I know go 12.5:1 on their B-series if they're sticking to NA.

Higher Octane dosen't increase HP/TQ it just helps to keep Pistons from coming out the side of the block or through the oilpan by helping reduce Knocking and Pinging. Tuning is where you get your HP from.
hahaha well I just think it's better to give my baby better food

It's a Type R and it eats most of the k-swaps in town
