I am going out to the track this weekend to have a little fun on a road course. I have the predator 91 octane tune in my car since no one in the Tulsa area sells 93 or higher. I would like to run the performance tune for my car this weekend, and I would like some opinions as to what everyone has used for octane boosters. The prices I have found range from 6.99-25.00. The cheaper ones do not say how much they will increase your octane, and obviously this is a concern. Also since I have installed the 91 tune, my car pings through 3000-6500rpms. It only does this occasionally so I blame differing qualities of gas. Any info would be great!

I've never heard good things about octane booster. Can you get gas at a local small airport or something?

I could get 101LL, but I was not sure if the low lead fuels would be detrimental to new fuel injection systems? Any ideas on that? I used to have a 72 mustang with a 351 Cleveland motor, and I ran 101LL in it all the time. Since I do not hear of people running it in newer cars, I was not sure if it will hurt them.
