Stock Civic Si. It won't mess anything up, but it's useless. You WON'T notice any more power. Though it might feel like it, but that's because your car will be lighter due to the emptier wallet.

You would benefit by getting your car tuned. No race gas won't do anything for you either. Pump gas is fine.

people dont seem to understand that adding higher octane gas wont do anything for you horsepower wise unless you get it tuned to that octane. I work at a race track where i sell regular 87 octane all the way up to 110 leaded. The people who buy the higher octane usually are running really high compression or turbo/supercharged. I had a guy with an Audi TT who was running a chipped ecu and could switch from running 93otcan to 104 octane. without the tuned ecu the 104 octane wouldnt do ****. at $8.50 per gallon for 104 octane it would cost an arm and a leg to fill your gas tank.
