I think you'll need some more research before you can really make that statement.
I don't think you really paid attention to what I was saying. That he wouldn't necessarily make more power using 100 than he would have running 91 -- but he can tune the motor without fearing the dreaded detonation while he's fooling with timing etc. The motor was built to be run using pump gas... therefore the compression etc doesn't demand 100 octane fuel... and 100 octane fuel doesn't "make" more power - they just protect against detonation. The higher compression motors demand higher octane fuels - but that's a different situation. We're talking about a street motor with normal compression.
I should add that VP makes Streetblaze that is a 100 octane
unleaded OXYGENATED fuel that will make more power... so I guess we really should know what fuel he tuned on. My guess is leaded 100 octane non oxygenated for the safety factor.
And it's okay if we disagree... I just like being right.
