95 MC Z34 vs. 95 Firebird?

right, we all know adding octane to a motor that can't utilise it won't add any power, but the LQ1 had differing compression depending on year and what tranny it was hooked up to. i'm willing to bet that with no tune, running 87 octane, most LQ1s will pick up knock. there is reason enough to use better fuel, because if you have knock, you're losing power and killing the pistons...

that and if you have the capability, using higher octane fuel allows you to advance the timing a little more, for a little more power.

now if only cars could somehow know what fuel is in the tank and adjust the advance automaticlly...

lol it was bad not gonna lie...i jumped when i was waiting for the green but not enough to red light, so i was trying to refocus on starting again when my mind was already half way down the track. plus, it was my first time ever, and i was pretty exhausted
