Detonation could be a problem depending on the tune. You might want to consider one of the methanol/alcohol injection kits. Hight boost is possible on the street with pump gas and you don't even know the kit is there.

91 octane required
]How is it possible to run 6-8lbs. boost on a 10.9 to 1 comp. C6? I live in N. California, with less than 93 octane.[/QUOTE]
Those of us in FL have access to 93 octane pump gas.lol
I did not realize until I went to Denver recently that they still make 85 octane fuel and that they max out at 91; 2005 Vettes run fine on 93 octane with 6 lbs. boost using the intercooled Procharger; mine does. Procharger only requires 91 octane, so you should be fine also. There should be no need for any additives. Ed Wright does the computer tuning for Procharger. INSTALL THE Procharger kit and hold on!lol

I do run 93 octane in mine in Texas, with a VERY conservative tune at 5.5psi she makes 620rwhp. I would call Andy at http://www.aandacorvette.com/ he has built many F.I. cars for Cali guys. One of the guys that has an ATI kit on this forum is Brabus2, Andy's guys did the install on his, and he is VERY satisfied. Brabus2 is in in the SFV area, check out his posts...

Anyone tell me what you've run with the ATI in the 1/4 mile on a stock C6 coupe or with a cam too?
