it means the spark plug is firing before the piston reaches top dead center. the higher octane is needed because there in more time to burn the gas

around me, 93 is already around 4 bucks a gallon and still rising.....something to consider...especially since you arent gonna gain that many ponies..... just my two cents......

Power gains will be there, but it isn't going to be a huge increase or anything, 5 or so WHP maybe.

running more octane on a n/a car with our stock low compression doesn't do that much.
