As long as you stay at 100 octane it won't cause any real damage except with your wallet.

Most fuels above 100 octane contain lead and you do not want those in your vehicle.

no real improvement unless you advance the timing to round 18-19 degrees advanced. then you will shave like a quarter a sec off your quarter mile time. some reason people underestimate timing. get the vp 100 its decent and unleaded so your cat wont smell like farts

In my experience running race gas in a stock car only will cause your 02 sensors to fail prematurely.

You're not going to gain anything out of it, by advancing timing with the distributor. Honda's timing maps are hard to improve upon on a stock b16. So, you will not gain any power from running 100 octane on a stock motor.

Exactly. A stock B16 will see NO gains by running race gas.

probably better off just getting octane booster from your local auto parts store. For $5.00 bucks pretty much going to be the same unless like previously stated you advance timing or boost!

I AGREE on the AIRPLANE FUEL! 115 Octane i ran once, ran a little better, but stank for abit and some White smoke. Other than that, GO AIRPLANE GAS!
