techron is great.lucas is also good stuff.don't put octane boost as it will foul up your plugs if you are still using ht1s.if your using brisk plugs it might not foul them.i'm speaking from experince.

Marketing talk mostly. Some gasolines are better than others, definitely. There are a lot of different variations in gasoline, by brand & by location in the country.

This image shows the ~20 different rquirements that different areas require of their gas. This will affect tunes quite a bit.

Octane booster in these cars will foul up your plugs. If you want to use go ahead, but have money saved for new plugs when they foul up.
