Default higher octane question

i currently run 93 on a 150 dry shot.

just wandering if i were to add 103 or w.e and mix it to a 100 octane rating in the tank. how much more power could i make if its tuned for that?

i could have more timing added correct?

might be dumb, but i just thaught i'd ask.

I run the 105 trick for added safety, not for more power. Now you may gain a little if you retune, but look for more of a safety cushion than a power increaser. yes, you likely can run a bit more timing, but the power gain from a little added timing will be minumal.

make sure the gas is MIXED properly.
just dont pour it in and spray.
timing adds heat. i think you would be bettter off by taking more timing out and spraying more to achieve power with the good fuel.
spray safe!

what would be the minimum octane to spray 200 on stock timing table? assuming you can supply enough fuel to support the 200 shot. not that im brave enough or my pockets are that deep this month to try but kinda wanna know. starting with 92*

Some have claimed to do it on pump gas, but I am not that brave. I would say a 50/50 mix of race/pump at a min, imo.
