Default Need help with octane...asap

So i just finished up installing my turbo kit and im going to be getting it tuned in about 7 hours. Only problem is i just realized i have half a tank of 89 still in it. So my question is if octane booster puts it up 1 octane per tank technically its would be 2 octane for my half a tank making it half a tank of 91 then i fill up will 92 or 93 i should be fine. Am i right or way off? Thanks.

Get a 3" S-Pipe and DP and you'll make that easy, that is what is stopping you.

Back to the thread now!

Octane booster will not up your half tank by that much.. I would try syphoning again and refill.

I wouldn't worry about the octane. The computer should adjust the timing so you don't knock. If it doesn't for some reason, just take it easy until you've burned that tank.
