You could throw in some octane booster if you want to. That would help some.

octane booster adds .1 to a full tank, useless.

just dont boost for half a tank, then find some 91 (or higher)

stay out of boost, and don't be dumb again. I even run Non-oxygenated premium on my stock 88 DX commuter.

Some guy around here put 87 in his car the day he finished his boost install.

Shorest lived turbo kit if you know what I mean (he blew up his engine that nght).

Don't boost!. If your really scare(which you shouldn't be if you don't boost) retard your timing.

just start you car land let it idle in the driveway for a few hours until you burn most of the tank off (gass light comes on) then fill up with 93
