tuning for 110 octane?

hey guys im new so forgive me if this has been brought up before I also have no idea about tuning but theirs a citgo in my town that has 1 pump that sells 110 octane and goes for like 7-8 dollars a gallon. Assuming money for 110 gas wasnt a issue and I had the turbo upgrade kit/gms1 I was wondering if I were to tune my car for 110 octane (can you even tune a car to run 110?) would I see much of a benefit or would I just be wasting my money and maybe killing off my car? my car is not a daily driver btw.

Unless you plan on filling up with 110 every time you go to the pump.. i wouldn't suggest tuning for it... 93 is fine, you will not notice that big of a differnece on 110 anyway assuming you are only boltons and no bigger turbo or internal work

Unless you plan on running 110 octane all the time dont bother tuning for it.

Unless you have your own HPT. I have a file for pump and race gas. I can run over 22* of timing at .89 lambda on 108 unleaded mix. So there is a benefit to running it if you have the equipment to make use of it
