Why bump timing
Okay I read the tech article on how to, but it didn't explain why. If the truth is running higher octane gas doesn't improve power, then what makes timing make more power? I understand the basics of timing and how octane works, but I'm wondering how much power you can gain by taking it up a few degrees.

increasing timing starts the burn process sooner in the compression stroke creating more cylinder pressure and thus, more power. higher octane burns slower and resists detonation better allowing you to run more timing

because they work EXACTLY opposite
you add octane for a lean condition... but yet you want to be lean as you can SAFELY be for optimum power. more octane or less timing makes u safer
octane reduces combustability chemically, so it retards detonation, just like less timing does mechanically
get it now ???? if not.... i'll explain as best as i can
