[QUOTE="RBB, post: 15823567, member: 152686"] Question for some of you more educated guys on here. I've seen this topic briefly discussed before, but I've never really seen a straight answer, and it seems like opinions vary. I'm working on the initial base files with my tuner and today we discussed when the car is going on the rollers, expected numbers, etc. To make a long story short he tells me that they don't like tuning a car to make more than 700-750 HP on 93 octane. I'd imagine the timing in my street tune will have to be very low to achieve this. This surprised me a little as I know I've seen cars running 93 pump tuned by this same tuner that are pushing more HP than that. I've also seen other tuners go 800-850 on 93 octane. I've always been under the assumption that you don't want to push more boost and timing than the octane can support (18psi, for instance, on 93), but I've never thought that you needed X amount of octane to support a particular HP level. Can anyone explain the reasoning behind this? [/QUOTE]
