ok now i have heard so many rumors about octane, some about how its only purpose is to prevent knock and has no effect on perfomance. So I have to ask, would putting a higher octane fuel or even racing fuel in an LN3 have any sort of effect, or is that only for */Ced engines?

However it is most noticable in the SC motors. I never noticed a difference in my 5.3L truck. Not a bit...mileage wasn't enough of a difference to see.
