But it doesn’t. I hit 100+ mph regularly.
Bottom line is that unless you are logging, you have no idea. Even 91/92 knocks. The ECU is constantly bouncing off of knock and pulling timing because that's what it's designed to do. I've learned through discussions with local more experienced folks that the ECU quits pulling timing around 94 octane.


I've done some logging and have a gallon of toluene and a calculator. When I'm confident enough that I have my head wrapped around the data I'm capturing, I'll confirm that hearsay for myself. ...someday.
