Instead of octane booster go get about a dozen NOS stickers all over your car, it does about the same thing performance wise.
If you are filling up at the track I would get as low as you can on 93, fill up with 110, then use about a 1/4 tank before switching to the 110 tune to make sure you have gotten the 110 into your engine.
come on now, i don't even have a fast and furious wing or stickers on my doors from parts that i don't have yet boo ricers
sorry squidd, i will post the "what the guy tells me they tested out to be numbers" when i talk to them tomarrow i will try to find out what i can as far as tech info. timing, A/F ratio etc... sorry for any confusion
The point of going to a higher octane fuel is so you can run more spark advance and a leaner AF ratio..
I don't know what makes the most power on a NA car in terms of AF ratio and timing advance, but on FI, Kenne Bell found that 25 degrees advance gives about the most power, more advance in their tests resulted in lower power. As far as AF, in an FI situation, you set the AF ratio to be as high as you can without pinging.. it all depends on the amount of boost and the octane of your fuel.. I believe the 110 octane race tune they use is around 12.2 AF ratio.. that is pretty lean for FI..
Just remember, the higher the octane, the harder it is to burn the fuel. It isn't like higher octane means more energy, it doesn't, it just gives you the ability to get more compression of the air fuel mixture (or spark advance) before you get pre-ignition (early detonation).

I think your tuner is full of it if he is telling you that you will make more power with your combination and 110. I am real curious to hear what his reasoning is. Specifically what total timing he wants to run.

A/F ratio 14.6-1
timing starts a 2* down low and builds to 15-20 in advance in the upper rpms
he said it should be a noticable difference, with 7-10 more hp and trq. over the curve with the 110 vs 93 tune mabye more depending on the conditions, but not less.
i also asked if i should change my gaps and he said i might gain a little if i open them up with a NA motor and close them 1 heat range with FI
what octane does it come out being if you mix the Torco or Lucas Octane Booster with 93...
Stay away from octane boosters. Others have found out the hard way that they fouled the spark plugs in their S197 GT engines, and ended up having to replace the plugs.

I googled Torco out of curiosity after having seen Stlwagon talk about it on a couple of occasions. I also came across this write up regarding Toluene:
