Looks like this summer i'll probably crank the boost way down and just run 87 octane. It has a 50trim turbo. What do you think is a safe level of boost to run with that octane? Less than 12, less than 10psi, none?? Then before a race day, i'd run her dry and put 92 octane in it.

92 Octane is just under $2.40/gallon here in central Wisconsin. Supposed to go up another 12 cents before the end of March and then on the rise for the Memorial Day in May. I guess i'm expecting gas to be around $2.60 to $2.75 late May and even more if the cost of crude doesn't come down well below the $56 per barrel that it's at right now. We might even see $3.00/gallon if there is a major supply disruption according to many sources.
