For the 5spd you can turn up the timing a cpl degrees, get you a cpl hp... but always good to have as mods come down the line.

With an auto it will help, but with a manual there is not much point. Its not worth a few hp to have to run 91 octane all the time.

It'll help a little but I wouldn't get one unless you plan on doing some future modding. If you plan to mod more later then you'll see more gains with it then. If that is the case you might as well buy one now and enjoy the small gains you'll get with it while stock.

Not whatever octane you want, but if you use the preloaded tunes you have 87, 91, and 93 octane options. If you get a real custom tune you can have the tuner set it up for any octane.
