since I always run 93 in my bike anyways how much power could be gained by adjusting the timing for 93 octane instead of 87?
your splitting hairs and waisting money by not running 87. Imo
lol i might feel like im depriving her of the best putting 87 in it

lol not enough hp diff to justify price of gas?
Octane is a measure of a fuels ability to "resist burning".. burn rates from pump fuels are pretty much identical and the octane increase can actually hurt performance if the machine is not set up to run it in many cases..
Ignition advance can be increased at lower RPMs w/higher octane fuels (at top end of RPM range it is essentially a waste of time so to speak)
experience on the dyno says that on a stock compression motor, why bother.. if you are on motor with higher compression or camshafts that have been advanced or changed out, you might see benefit (more concerned with stopping damage however from pre-ignition/detonation issues)
Save your pennies...
when ur talkin what, 10, 15 cents more per gallon, then it realy doesnt matter when filling up a 5 gal tank. we all waste 2 bucks here and there anyway, so i feel better putting the good stuff in (even if all i get is more piece of mind)
