not an expert, but have tried octane boosters in many of my vehicles, no improvement in hp, milage, performance, etc, just spending money. I have put in 100 low lead fuel in performance cars, and runs great and smooth. Most Honda's use no lead regular unless you raised the compression on your engine to a higher than stock level.
If you put higher octane in your car, it would not do any better. just spending more money for similar output.
if you put in a cold intake, exhaust headers, cat back, turbo type muffler, change the crank pulley to aluminum, platnium plugs, high capacity plug wires, advance timing, ( then put in high octane fuel) this will help the engine out a bit.
