Naturally I applaud that the newer firmware has got that in, but the whole premiss that I've been working on is that the higher the octane the more boost or compression the engine can sustain. Could speeduino crank up the boost until the engine pinks(ping's)? My next project will be a Ford Cortina 1600E engine re-built to 15 to1 with a turbo on. Running e85 or e100. I suppose in theory you could even run an engine with e85 and limp home on e10 with boost to fit what happened to be in your tank.
To get the best energy out of an engine it should be as high compression as the fuel can sustain. I have thought for years it might be an idea to run pure ethanol at a high compression as it can sustain
