Default quick question on boosted prelude

ok so, I got my car tuned and dynoed yesterday and it had 93 pump gas.
Today, I went to the gas station and filled up with 93 and used a 104 octane booster just to be safe. IS that OK?

Its not gonna hurt anything, but if you run with the booster more often than not then you would have benefited by getting tuned with the booster in it.

It won't hurt anything.

It will decrease your proness to detonate, but running more octane than necessary will also very slightly reduce horsepower.

the reason why I actually added the octane booster was because someone at my work (A local Honda Store) told me I should just to be safe, incase of detonation.

93 octane with a 104 additive shouldnt be too much with my setup right?

If you're properly tuned dont bother with the booster, just gonna cost more money to fill up.

Those octane boosters eat O2 sensors too.

No, it will not hurt you. I used to put in a gallon of 110 for ever fill-up I used to do. Octane booster is **** though... I would stick with mixing octane fuels instead.

93 octane should be fine.. Octane boosters aren't the best way to get more octane.
