All it'd allow you to do is run normally-unsafe timing and a bit leaner (reduces detonation if it ran a bit lean). Save the cash you'll spend, or rather waste, on that c12 and put it into the 'funds for a dyno tune' jar. I know for a fact that several dyno tunes cost much less (time AND money) than a hole in a piston.

I won't stop you from trying it, but maybe your motor will? 9psi in a D-series with stock bottom end is already nearing the unsafe threshold, doing it untuned isn't very responsible.

Naw i ran 10-12psi daily on my old sohc/vtec turbo setup. Stock block. At the track id turn it up to 15psi. She held together just fine. Just make sure the tuning is good - or you will get a hole in the side of your block.

But seriously tho, HiProfile is totally right. If the motor isnt tuned well - there is no purpose in putting in race gas and tuning up the boost. You dont wanna blow something up.

Anything above 109 octane is now leaded fuel and all leaded fuel will distroy O2 sensors in time

Why not?? I run my on 110 every weekend, and it runs alot better than running 93. Running 110 allows me to turn the timing up to where it is supposed to be, if not a little more; if I dont run it I have to leave me timing at 9 degress where it is everyday. Its no fun driving a car with a built motor that cant run to full potential.

your car makes the most power on the lowest octane possible without detenating.

ahhhh i see, so is this suppose to be like vise-versa from N/A setup to prevent detenation it needs high octane, but for F/I to prevent that it needs the lowest octane?

no you don't want to run low octane with fi. Your motor would be fucked if you were running some 87

Running the hi octane when drag racing will be a little safer if its free or cheap toss some in the tank it won't hurt.

Cool, keep an eye on your boost gauge with that wastegate.
