I use 93 octane in my 2000 v6 mustang when I'm running nitrous and I run a 100 shot.

you're still running 87 octane? i think it would be a lot less harmful if you used any higher octane fuel

Yeah the instructions for my nitrous kit told me it was harmfull not to run premium gas. So you've been lucky so far since your not running it so I would start if I was you.
