You would benefit extremely from meth injection.

I'd be scared to tune any boosted car with 87 in the tank. Sure, a little more rich would be better up top though.

You fuel octane is worse than you A/F ratio. I don't know at what psi you are at but 87oct would require pretty retarded timing. As long as the timing is conservative it's not an issue. As deanfootlong stated, meth would make a pretty big difference in your car.

stock 350z's aren't even meant to be driven on 87 octane, nevermind a supercharged one.. Guess you could custom tune for 87 though..

87 oct isn't really a problem at low boost levels...it just wont be as powerful a 93oct setup.

I do not think there is a drag strip in D.R.
but check with your tuner as you should be at 14.7 A/F at idle
and thru a slow pull up to 4k or so but 12 A/F is good at full boost and near 6 to 7 k Timing advance is the factor that will break your motor.

As stated previously 87 octane is no good the only place in D.R to get better gas is at the local airport.

Aviation gas is a higher octane fuel but burns dryer and not designed for high rpms but in your case much better that 87 if you use both meth injection and av gas along with the proper tune you will see a night and day difference.

By the way what type of tuning system is you tuner using?

More curious to know if there is a single well paved road in the DR worth driving on

The roads and driving skills I witnessed there were similar to those in India.

The dominican republic is GIGANTIC. It really depends where you go. I've never been there, but have a friend that lived there for a few years and the pics he's shown me look very nice.
