Racing fuel in a Z

As to non oxgenated race fuel giving you anymore hp as this has been discussed before is a false belief.The need for race fuel is due to the high compression ratio that race cars or street cars that have been modified by raising the compression ratio.The higher octane race gas prevents the motor from detonation!Detonation will burn pistons and valves!The grade of fuel needed is determined by how high your compression ratio.A high compression ratio is determined by modifications mechanically or as a result of boost.To just run race gas will not give you anymore power.Just because it is labeled "race fuel" leads some to belief it will make there car make more power.Well those of you who believe that are clearly mislead due to the lack of knowledge when it comes to the combustion engine.Doesn't make you stupid or a bad person just not knoweldgable about engines.
I'am trying to explain this the best I can without confusing some who may not understand.Clearly there is more to this and truly a science.
So all here on this site are clearly on computers so do your homework and research and you will possibly have a better understanding of what I'am trying to say in simple language.
