Currently I'm running a 91 dp with a .060 shave . The computer argues with inferior brands of 89 octane. Car pulls hardest when it's @55degrees with relatively high pressure in the area. Car closer to being parted everyday as the suspension mounts are rotting out. I got parts laying around. Assuming the motor will be disected anyway, How much boost could I put up on 93octane with the la3 installed+injectors, before I gotta take pictures and send em in????

with it already being shaved im guessing Not much, With a pretty good IC, some octane boost, and wastegate Minimum boost i think you would be alright for a while. Still got a TC motor or pistons lying around?
