I just drive about 35 minutes to my local racetrack
(Infineon) and there's plenty of 100 octane unleaded
street fuel there. However, even with a 7+ psi of
boost on my otherwise stock '02 SE, I don't need more
than about 95 octane to avoid ping outright...

YES.

It works!

But don't buy that one, I have one that looks just like a 4.7K ohm resistor,
and adds 30HP. Mine works wirelessly, you just neet to pop in in your
glovebox, and way you go. No messy & comples electronic modifications.
Just send $49.95 to my anonymous postbox, and it's yours!

Careful with that Avgas. First, it is near impossible to find 130
octane. I haven't seen it in years and I've only seen it once in 30
years. The current avgas is 100LL The LL stands for low lead, and it
is not. It has so much lead that your cat will fry in only a few
miles.

A friend of mine used 100LL in his Ferrari and ending up having to do a
re-build.
