100 octane with meth?

Like Julio said, it depends on what kind of boost you want to run. There is no doubt you can run more boost (and a little more timing) on 93 pump gas plus alky versus 100 octane.
If you are only running 17-19 psi boost with no problems on 100 octane, the only benefit you would get from alky would be in the middle of the summer to help negate any heat soak effects from a stock location intercooler. No worry about having to cool down between runs with alky.

With 100 octane and alky I can run more timing at 24 psi. Never went past 26 or 27 and it may have hedl more I just chose to stop there. No way my car will run that much timing on 93.
With that said 93 with 24 PSi my limit on timing in 3rd and 4th is around 23.5 -24.
Not sure how much more HP/TQ the extra timing would gain since there is so many variables to engine builds, atmosheric cond, etc.
Thats my exp with alky but as stated previously 100 oct alone not sure. Alky comes out on top IMO since its better in the long term vs exotic fuels every race

Nothing wrong with that. Running higher octane gas allows you to get away with mistakes a lot safer. Kinda of like putting a bullet proof vest on Superman.
Its always better to start with too much octane and ween it of that than start on very low octane.. subject the motor to knock.. getting it figured out.
