[Diy_efi] Knock retard and Race gas

[Jim Butterfield]

Isn't there someone on this BB that has a masters degree in Internal combustion??? if not Others might know. On a local club board we are discussing higher octane race fuel ( 100/103) vs standard 98/93 pump fuel and knock. We all know how well it will reduce some knock (KR) that our 3800 series 2 Supercharged ( pontiac grand prix 97-03) cars from compression ( supercharger) of the air mixutre ( which heats it)... It wil reduce the knock via more complete combustion and reducing the KR we get form the supercharger... the question comes up 
   
  If a car has 0 knock ( detonation) and you put hight octane gas in the tank for race purposes, does it give you  an advantage, or are you waisting your money??? Personally I think that even if you dont get the advantage of reduced knock your still getting a better combustion and therefore a more power from the cylinder... Yes/NO
