93 octane...
I just did a tune up on my IX and I was wondering how to make the octane go up to 93. I bought a lucas octane booster. so far from what I heard was that I pump 91 octane, but before doing this I put the octane booster first then pump gas. well I would like to hear your input guys. thanks.

Those octane boosters...Think of them the same way you think of those magnets they sell that clip on to your fuel line to give you a 25% increase in fuel economy. They're also the equivalent of those tornado air intake things that give you 15% more horsepower.
If you can't find a 100 octane pump around you just go buy some toluene if you want a true and simple octane booster.

Its a good thing I still haven't used that octane booster I bought. so far I've been pumping just 91 octane on my evo, I was just wondering because I know our cars are designed for 93 octane. but would it be bad to keep pumping 91. I usually pump @ 76. thanks guys.

I would recommend a methanol injection kit to net you a little extra power.
Gains are anywhere from 30-80whp depending on your mods and nutty you'd like to get.
I personally got my car up to 438/444 with just a tbe, mbc, Walbro, fmic, clutch, intake and meth kit.
stock o2, manifold, cams and no porting.
Cheers!
