Unless your race car has a knock sensor and emission controls controlled by a computer, you cannot compare it to stock mass produced vehicles.
Sure I can.
I'm burning premium pump gas and so is the OP. I have maximum advance set, but I do it mechanically his does it electronically. Maximum timing is maximum timing.
I really wish that by switching gas brands I could pick up 10, 15, 20 HP. Now that would be cool! Remember, Ford and others can only pick up about 15 HP by going from E10 to E85. And yet some on this forum are saying they pick this up by going to a different gasoline brand.
Like I said; I wish.
What I am trying to convey is that current vehicles adjust as needed to prevent knock. Power can go up and down as the engine self adjusts. Of course you already know that, but some have no idea why they might benefit from a higher octane fuel.
