Default what gas should i use

i was wondering,before i acually complete my ls/vtec build, i am using PCT pistons(JDM),and with the head i will be using i will have sumwhere around 12.3ish:1 compression ratio. i was just wondering if anybody had any suggestion on what fuel i should use, the closes gas stations around me get up to only 93 octane, and i don't think that will halep run my setup good???what can i mix or use to help??? thanks

93 can run PCTs on good tuning. If you aren't 100% confident in your tuner then I would use p73-00 pistons.
