Let me put it this way.

Race gas: $8.00 gallon
Pump gas: $2.09 gallon
Alcohol: $3.00 gallon(which will easily last a full tank)

I can have the exact same setup as you. For you to run high boost(30psi+) you would have to use race gas. You just aren't going to see those boost numbers on pump gas. BUT If I do pump gas with an alki injection, I can easily achieve the same at a fraction of the cost. With alki injection I can drive my car around all day long on 93octane and at any given time if I want to race I can just step on the gas and when the hob switch is activated I'm spraying alki and running high boost and whooping ass. Now for you to do the same it would cost you over $100 in race gas to drive around and at the drop of a hat run a high boost race setup. Otherwise you would have to tell the person to hold on and try to go find some race gas or run a strictly pump gas tune and maybe lose. Me on the otherhand I just step on the gas and rocket whenever I want for only $3.00 on top of a normal fill up. Now please tell me how that is a "band aid" and not a replacement/substitution for running race gas all the time.
