Octane booster is mostly BS and would not use it.

The porting isnt what decides what fuel for you to run entirely. It matters most on how the head is configured on a 2-stroke and on a 4-stroke the engine compression.

Example for a 2-stroke (since your name is 2strokescreamer) is this: Say your head is set up at 160psi cold cranking compression (or 14:1 UCCR) and your squish is .065. This wouldnt really need anything more then a pump gas. Now if your motor is setup at 185psi (or say 16:1 UCCR) and your squish has changed to .045 you are going to be much more prone to detonation, and that would require a race fuel to prevent this. Hope this helps...

btw, how do you "order" porting
