Higher Octane dosen't increase HP/TQ it just helps to keep Pistons from coming out the side of the block or through the oilpan by helping reduce Knocking and Pinging. Tuning is where you get your HP from.

What do you do if you can't get 94 octane?
Why go to 94 octane unless you're running 12:1 or greater compression?

you're on the right track it's 12.1

It's a Type R and it eats most of the k-swaps in town
