At oem boost levels (11.5psi) you'll be fine with 95, as long as the 95 is either motor octane or (r+m)/2. If 95 is the research octane, then you may have to drive out of your area to find some 'real' fuel to run it...

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
