I ran 110 leaded octane racing gas in my Cobra and mixed it with the junk they sell at the pump for years with no problems. I buy it in 55 gallon barrels and it really doesn't cost that much more now than the junk I get at the pump. I was running 11.5 compression and raced the car hard. I have never used an octane booster that did anything but cost money. A barrel of racing gas will last you for quite a long time if you mix it. When racing I ran it straight and normally would use two barrels a year.
