Can you tell any performance difference on a stock car from the 100 octane?

If there ever was a beautiful ZL1 1LE picture and story, this is it. Congratulations and take good care of your fiance, she sounds like an absolute keeper.

Thank you and oh I will keep her...plus the funny thing is she is a Patrol Commander for the local police department. I try not to drive too fast when she is with me out of respect for her job...but she has already informed me what to say if we get pulled over...LOL

Not really but we have the crappiest 91 octane on the planet here so I am mixing 3-4 gallons trying to push the octane to around 93...plus next month will be running the 1/2 mile and I think the extra octane will help me keep from pulling any timing on the tope end. IDK for sure but what the heck.

Yeah, I'm sure it matters. Even back when I had roughly stock ZL1 power, I saw knock and the ECM pulled timing up top at the drag strip, and that was with Shell 93 octane (at sea level), until I added a bit of octane booster.

Oh I miss 93 octane (used to live in Florida) but thanks for the input and a few years back I had a stock Hellcat and was running the 1/2 mile and in the pits someone suggested adding like 4 gallons of 100 octane as I might be pulling timing toward the top end. I put Torco 100 octane fuel in (no booster...actual fuel...as they were on site) and went out and ran with my 280lb best friend in the car and ran the same speed as by myself. So I dropped him off and went out and ran my best run of the day 3 mph faster then all day. So I am hoping it will help the ZLE run...maybe not 3 mph but I will take any help I can to get the fastest speed.

Where/when does this 1/2 mile run take place? I’m in AZ for the Winter and would like to attend. Here are my ZLE plates. The workers that build our 6th Gens.
