as long as he doesnt run more than a 1/4 tank of it if he goes leaded, I would just run fuel system cleaner and change your fuel filter more often if you run leaded ras gas, but with something like 104 octane unleaded you should be fine

unless u got racing injectors, I wouldn't do it. its ok to stick like a lil bit in ur tank, but not a whole tank full, but Racing fuel can Screw ur car up. My friend was going to put some in his Integra, but the guy at the pump said he can do some damage if his car wasn't built for it.

I ran some super 104+ before & I did'nt notice any real difference in performance. I might try again now that I've done the I/E.

It depends. If it's 104 octane and it's UNLEADED, it's A-ok; if it's leaded, not a chance (most race gas is leaded though, so be careful). Our cars are not designed to run on leaded gas; it'll clog your injectors and your fuel system in a hurry. If you want 104 octane, put some octane booster in your gas tank or something, but DO NOT run leaded fuel.
