[Diy_efi] Timing Advance Curve?

Can't find the link but this is an urban myth. In many cases a high =
octane gas can be faster burning than a low octane one. Octane is a =
measure of knock resistance, nothing else.

Octane has everything to do with the speed of burn.  Higher octane =
actually
controls ping by slowing down the burn.  This is why a very low HP/cubic
inch engine doesn't necessarily gain power with higher octane.
