This car is run at 20 psi with 94 octane gas. My question is whats a safe boost level to run at 91 octane gas?

Thanks
 
Every car is different (mods), I personally would not run more than 17 PSI on pump gas. Do you have an EGT gauge or knock light on the car? I would invest in a logger.
 
Get a logger. They make tuning SOOO easy. Worth every penny.
 
Until I one would you say 17 psi on 91 pump gas? Just as a rough estimate until I can get a logger or get it tuned.
 
I remember reading somewhere about this, and it ended up for temporary use, 1.5 psi drop for every octane drop. I know its nothing t go bye, as you should tune for whatever you ll use but, its better to be safe.
 
id try 16 or 17 and see how the car feels. If you get a bad feeling while driving, then turn it down further.
