My tune is for 93. What do you do at Hallett with only 91? Does octane boost work? Mix race fuel? What ratio?

I have a 91-octane tune and take two jugs of 93-Texas Tea.

Don't you have an email tune? If so, and you're close enough to deontation that 2-octane points puts you over the edge, then I envy your bravery.

I have some detonation headphones you can borrow to see if you're detonating, and you can even record into an MP3 player during your session, then have a listen. I use them for road tuning and dyno tuning to listen for combustion irregularities that are outside the sensitivity-range of the naked ear.

Tell me about how they loaded up the dyno in 5th gear, ran the full sweep, then pulled the wheel speed down to 3000rpm, and back up to redline...WOT the whole way. Yeah, this is the best way to see if your dyno guy is worth his salt. When your exhaust plumbing is glowing yellow, and then you make a pull on the dyno without detonation, you know it's safe.
