I wanted to know for a engine developed in the 70's and rebuilt in the 2000's do you think 4 octane points higher makes a difference on how the engine performs as a daily driver ?

according to PP spec sheet, my 2.0 should be running 91 RON. It does run noticeabley smoother with the premium. Occasionally I add in the 104 octane boost. Combined with electronic ignition and wider gap, there is a peppier response.
http://www.pelicanparts.com/914/technical_..._tech_specs.htm I ain't no major mechanic but have worked my way through a number of issues that have come up with my car. I thank my local porsche mechanic (a former (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_flagge24.gif) 914 racer) and some of the guys here and on PP and Rennlist for insight.
