A friend of mine told me I should use race gas in my Raptor. Apparently there is a station that sells 115 octane gas is this better/worse for my engine than the 93 octane I have been using?

->my mods are listed in the sig.

Your just fine with 93, the high octane won't do anything for you with stock compression. Except cost you more $$$$$$

Read the manual, you only need 87 octane with a stock motor, now you can save even more!

Higher octane fuel will rob you of hp if you don't need it. The higher the octane the slower its burns. I think mine runs best on 87 octane.
