... unless new knock retard tables come out for 94 octane (by means of the tuner guys). ... maybe it would make a difference if you fill up with 94 octane and do a custom tune, but then it seems like you would have to always run 94 octane One thing is for sure: race gas is >110 octane, and it certainly makes a difference... or people wouldn't pay $10-15/gallon for it http://www.osbornauto.com/racing/dragster.htm

You only need MORE than 93-94 pump if your running HIGH BOOST that needs race gas for the tune via Turbo/Blower or if your running High Compression 11 to 11.5+
Im sure 93-94 pump is all good, pump is pump gas, go for 94
