I havn't tried rasing the timing up but it feels like I could probably advance the timing a degree or two. Although after reading more about this fuel it seems to like lower timing but you can advance it higher due to the higher octane level. I'll probably dyno tune my car with this stuff. With this stuff at $1.95 right now I can't say no.
Thank you. Real world data instead of text book crap and conjecture. Looks like I'll have to try some real soon.
