91 octane vs regular
If i am to run nitrous in my car would i see a performance difference if i were to run 91 octane instead of 87 or 89?
also does higher octane levels make your car run better?

What motor? If its a stock f22 or f23 then all you need is 87. You can actually hurt performance running 91.

a performance difference? No. but if you run 87 or 89 while spraying your motor won't last long. you have to use premium with any forced induction to avoid detonation.

if you run 91, it will be the best bet. you can prevent pre-combustion because that is what 91 really means. The more octane, the more power you'll get due to that your combustion happens at the exact moment it should. If you use nitrous with 87 or 89 your gonna major knock in your engine. This can easily cause you to lose performance and can end up breaking a connecting rod or cracked piston.
