thank you both, but i know how engines and octane works. i nevermeant to imply i gained this numbers with "only higher octane" i posted the timing numbers because as he said it was with the "push of a button" that he gained the horsepower, designating he was runnng a different tune, as are my numbers on differet tunes.
