[QUOTE="03 Whippled Cobra, post: 9148091, member: 58852"] Rodney, The benefits of Octane come from the increase in boost and timing you can run. You do not get any added benefit just by putting in higher octane. However, using higher octane allows you to up the boost and timing a little and get more power. As stated above, it is up to your tuner how much extra boost and timing they feel comfrotable with at certain octane levels. Lets say you run a ported Eaton, upper and lower pulley, making 17#'s boost. Your tuner may safely tune your car for 93 octane by keeping max timing at 23*. However, if you were to run 100 octane they could dial in more timing and safely keep max timing at 25*. If you up the octane again up to 116 they may feel comfrotable adding another 2* timing up to 27*. These are just examples, but you get the point. The benefit from octane comes from added timing and or boost. So yes there is a difference between the octanes you run and the timing your tuner feels comfortable with. Mike [/QUOTE]
