Stock with race gas?

So my father and I are heading to the local road course again this weekend, and I was wondering, is there any added benefit for running a mix of 91 oct and some race gas. The car is a completely stock 35is. If so, what would be a good mix?

Thanks,
Jim

Yes, you can. Won't notice any huge power gains though, unless the boost is raised. Just make sure it's unleaded :P
