Would this be handled by a 115 octane tune??

I dont think HP for 128i is the focus, the focus is to have meth increase OEM 91/94 octane maps, more so for tuned maps

Yes this is very interesting and I dont know if this requires the tune to apply the injection, or simply expect it at X and Y RPM.


Also, do you know how the systems behave if the source of meth runs dry?
is it safe for an engine to stop receiving the octane boost
