Default What octane for 99 vette???

ram air, corsa, thats it for performance. i run 91 here in cali, and when i put injector cleaner in with octane booster, it ran great, so much more power. but then a week later, with just normal gas for now on, it still runs crappy, so what octane can u run in the corvette? is it safe to run 100, or is that tooo high? may sound stupid or not, but thats why i ask, educate my guys, thanks

Straight 100 will be too much for a stock, or near stock vette. Stick with 93, or a blend of 91 with a couple gallons of 100 or torco.
