ok on this flexible fuel thing, let's say your running a supercharger, when you turn up the boost will the higher octane fuel help, what about performance. I only know of one place that has it here and it's right next to my parking spot, so is it worth it, has anyone tried it.

depends. how much boost are you talking about? what is the compression of your motor? is it intercooled? what is the temperature outside? how much timing are you running? it could ultimately mean the difference in not blowing up your motor, worst case scenario.

stock motor lets say 9lbs of boost, would this give you more performance. Also lets say 85-90 degrees. Just wondering if I used this when I go to the track would it help. Would it even help if I didnt have a supercharger adn was running stock engine. Just wondering about performance and if this fuel works well.

If your considering 93 octane ... I would run that anyways with a blown engine. I even ran that stuff when I wasn't blown. I put a tank of regular in before the blower and it ran like a fat overweight worn out wet dog. Switched back to the good stuff and it took me almost 2 tanks to get it cleared up.
