Just a general Turbo question with 93 octane

I am looking to geta turbo system eventually. I was doing a bit of research and I am trying to figure some things out here. I saw that GMR had their twin turbo system make 700+ rwhp on 93 octane. I am still choosing between their system and the STS rear mount which would be done by Cartek. I visit cartek and they have many LS1 and 2 engine cars going in the 9's with the rear mount setup. Now do you think those cars are hitting 9's and 10's on 93 octane? or race fuel? I'm just trying to see what the most power you can pump out of a STS rear mount is on 93 octane.

Also, i've always wondered about something with strip cars. IF you use your car on both the street and strip and you put race fuel in your tank to use more boost, what happens when you are done at the track and you still have high race fuel octane in your engine? I mean does it mess with the computer tune on your engine when you go back to using the car on the street since it now has a higher octane in it? And does mixing race fuel with regular super gas 93 gas do anything in terms of drivability on the street?

I mean i am new to this, so bare with me. I am just trying to understand. They may sound like dumb questions to some of you, but they are learning experiences to me.

it all depends on how much boost you are planning on running. anything more than 5 psi of boost you will need racing gas or meth injection. If you are planning staying with stock compression, your not going to be able to run more then 8 psi or maybe 10 psi. If you are really brave..

600-700rwhp is doable on 93 octane. Alot of poeple can dyno that, but when they hit the track and the "real world" load is on the negine, they might add a few gallons of race fuel to prevent any unforseen detonation.
