The 100 octane thing is a myth. if the car does not need it it will run faster on lower octane.

The reason there are different race octanes is you only want to run the lowest you can get away with. My street racer is a pump gas motor and looses a full 1/10th on 110 octane on motor. But needs the 110 to be safe on nitrous.

So long story short, at 9:1 compression, 100 octane would steal power.

500HP at the tires at 3500LBS is plenty to run high 10s. One trip to the dragstrip and I bet I am sending him double adjustable shocks and Prodigy Bar ends!
