The caveat is at that point, i'd be very inclined to switch to e85, because e85 just refuses to knock.. I've pushed limits intentionally with it.. On most engines, you'll blow the side of the block out from cylinder pressure before you get e85 to knock (from advancing timing too much)



That said, meh. I'd rather have this in my car stock and reliable... I'm past the point in life where i want to wrench on my car more than I beat on it
