The car was originally made to run on 99/100 octane. The only way to get
that octane is to buy 100 low lead from an a local small airport. Of
course, that gets expensive fast if you are driving it every day! Others
may agrue, but put in the best (ie: highest octane) gas you can buy.
The oil should be 20W-50 (or just 50 for summer). Personal opinion is
Castrol GTX. As for additives; The VTR web page has a good article on
octane boosters you might want to read. (www.vtr.org).
