FI Question
I live in a higher altitude area and as a result only have access to 90 octane gas at best.
I think I read somewhere that boost does well with higher octane gas. Does this affect my choice of supercharger (or whether I should go FI) or will I be good to go with a good tune?
Thanks,

You will be fine. I live at 5200' and have run 90 or 91 without any problems. I doubt that the gas is any different being delivered to higher elevations then sea level. I think the rating might just change due to the higher elevation. As a matter of fact, with the thinner air at a higher elevation, you will have a easier time staving off detonation. But of course, you don't make as much power either.
