What do you usually run? 11s? I didn't see your 383 config in your profile. What's your recipe?

Since I can't tell what engine you have, here is some info for you.

In most countries, including all of those of Australia and Europe the "headline" octane rating shown on the pump is the RON, but in Canada, the United States and some other countries, the headline number is the average of the RON and the MON, called the Anti-Knock Index (AKI). It may also sometimes be called the Road Octane Number (RdON), Pump Octane Number (PON), or (R+M)/2.


……………………………………..............RON………..MON… …...…AKI
Regular in Canada + USA……..…..91-92………..82-83…….….87
Premium in USA………………..........97-98.........88-89........93
Euro Super................................95. .........85-86........91
SuperPlus............................... ..99...........89-90.......94
BPUltimate„102“........................1 02..........93-94......97-98
Shell;Aral.............................. ...100..........91-92......95-96

I use RON 98 which is US AKI 93 octane
