Octane is a measure of a fuel's resistance to autoignition, commonly known as knock. A higher octane means the fuel can withstand higher temperatures and pressures before knocking. This allows a custom tuner to advance the ignition timing to increase power. Running a tune designed for a lower octane rating means that the tune has been designed not to knock (for the most part) with the low octane, so a higher octane will be even less likely to cause knocking. |
Exactly. Your fueling has more headroom and you won't be asking it to do more than it's capable of
