They speculated that it may have gained another 50 or 60 to the wheels if I had had the fuel.

Steve,
Your 293hp is very respectable. Even more so since the engine is probably out of tune and you're using soccer-mom gas to fuel it. I've seen stock-smogged Panteras running low-mid 200 hp..

I never used anything less than 93octane and at times will even deposit octane boost into the tank. Good luck.
