Re: 104 racing fuel
It would be pointless and a serious waste of money.
Higher octane doesn't = more power
The recipe for power is the lowest octane possible without knock (pre-detonation) A stock vr4 can run on 91 octane. Witha boost controller at 15psi, 93 or 94 octane is nice. But 104 octane is completely overkill and worthless, if anything it will cause you to lose power. On top of that, most high octane fuels like htat are leaded which will decrease the lifetime of stuff like your cats and 02 sensors.
So simple answer, yes you can run 104 octane in your vr4, heck you can run 87 octane in your vr4. It's your car, you can run whatever you want in it...but it sure isn't a good idea if you like your car. Stock, stick with 91 octane.
Now when you upgrade your turbos and are running serious boost...then you start shopping around for higher octane fuels.

Your 1996 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 is the 92nd out of the 315 that were made that year. Only 21 of which are exactly identical.
