Help Me With Premix-omp

Hey guys, I want to run premix. i just want to see the effects for myself. So im going to run premix in one full gas tank. Can I still run premix with my OMP attached? I know what kind of oil to use but just wanted to know if its safe to use premix with my OMP still on. Oh yea I remember reading lower octane on NA is better, is this true? I have a rebuilt ported engine with 7 k miles. Only real mods is a straight pipe. So my fell rx7 enthusiast, running premix and lower octane best for my car? Thanks!

Premix with OMP is no prob, 400:1 ratio is common in this application...

NA's run fine on low octane...

Hmm, never actually ran anything "over" 87 in mine, not gonna spend the extra money just to perform a trial, either. It's not like it provides "more bang for the buck, contrary to popular wisdom... NA's just don't need a higher octane, due to the relatively "mild" compression pressures, compared to the boosted/ high compression cars...

128:1 is an ounce per gal, so you're looking at something between a 1/4 oz and 1/3 oz per...
