[QUOTE="RBB, post: 15824125, member: 152686"] Gotcha, so it's just to cover their ass, which is what I assumed from the get go. There's no real scientific reason to back down based off of a certain HP # if timing, boost, etc are all at safe levels for the octane. Maybe this is a recent thing they're doing with their tunes, as I've never heard any of the tuners say they won't tune over a certain amount of HP on a particular octane. The last time I saw one of these motor combos dyno'd on 93 octane (I'm assuming) was [USER=113067]@dale.baker[/USER] 's thread from a couple years ago. If my memory serves me correctly he made a little over 800rwhp at only 12* of timing. He was still on the stock fuel pumps, and those were the limiting factor. If he wasn't running out of fuel they could've turned it up even more. So to say that we're going to dial it back to 750 just seemed a little unreasonable....ignition timing would have to be severely retarded to hit that #. Of course, I will do what the tuner wants....
