Running higher octane on lower octane flash?

Al, can you run 94 or 95 octane on the 93 octane flash without problems. I found out we do have this at a few select pumps.

Bottom line: would it run faster under its programmed octane or better with a higher octane (not just optimally)?

By the way, thanks for the fast reflash.

The ecu will advance the timing slightly after it sees you are running clear of any detonation - we have several exmples where we picked up significant power on evos just by adding race fuel on the dyno

I don't know what al is going to say, but I run on 91 flash and I mix in race gas w/my 91 and usually have about 93-94 octane. I have no prob,can't really tell if hp improve, and I run alot smoother with mix.

Definitley, It'll feel smoother and stronger. Don't care what anyone says, experience has proven this. Know way you can extract best HP from 91 octane. Evos love octane!!
