with an N\A set up 120 octane race gas won't give you a single HP gain
all the octane rating is is the ability of the fuel to resist detonation and\or preignition......there for good for turbo\SC but worthless in a N\A set up

Nobody even said anything about 120 octane gas anyway. Anywhere between 91 and 94 is good for cars with compression ratios between 9.5 and 12. I made the mistake of putting 89 in my lude once when I was low on cash and the damn thing barely ran. Ludes are 9.5 or 10 aren't they?

Only place I ever saw higher than 94 was out in some hick town at a Citgo... 105 for like $5/gallon.
Sunoco is what I usually get and I see their ad's talking about "racing fuel" but I never see anything higher than 94 at the pumps.

this remark is highly untrue (to put it nicely ). prelude's automatically retard timing to prevent knock.
