Default What Octane?

Hiya all,

What octane are people running to get good performance. I'm hearing storys of 0-60 in like 5.x seconds and slow 1/4 mile times.

I'm running 97 ron here in the UK and my one is FLYING! I havent timed my 0-60 but its rather quick!

The experts say the higher the octane the more timing the computer will give the engine. They say you can pick up about 5 Hp by running 93 over 87 Octane.
