Higher octane means less chance of predetonation. You want to use it when running nitrous or other FI. Or if you've modified your engine to have a higher compression ratio.

If you don't know what mods they are running then you can't make that call.

I use a couple of gallons of 104 when I go to the track. My JWT ECU seems to like it. But for the run of the mill modified maxima it will do no good.
