I hope to improve on that MPH, although not the ET (I'm on street tires), on the 16th!

Damn impressive!!

a stupid question perhaps but without bumping up the boost, does the car actually produce more hp by dumping 100 octane instead of 93?

Damn impressive!!

ur street tires will kill ur ET. u either at a minimum need BF goodrich drad radials or 17 inch rims and mickey thompson street drag radials 275/40/17.
that is how evoms is getting 1.5 sec. 60 ft. launches. this is the way to do it.
good luck,
markski

It certainly does - the ECU uses (among other things) the knock sensor to determine how much timing advance to run. Turbo cars frequently will run a bit of ignition retard on pump gas because of knock; thus, using higher octane gas will allow more timing before the onset of knock, and thus produce more power.

The effect is of course more pronounced on a car where the boost has been raised.
