I feel very silly now , I had to amend my email by rephrasing the question 10 minutes after I sent it .

But @ Old Tele Man, to answer your question regarding where they got their Gasoline octane numbers from:
Quote:
"A total of 5 fuels are investigated in this study: regular
gasoline (RG), high octane gasoline (HO), and ethanol blends
of 10% (E10), 50% (E50), and 85% (E85). Both RG and HO
are emissions certification gasolines from Chevron Phillips
Chemical Company LLC (CPChem) with product names
UTG-91 and UTG-96, respectively."
I need to go back and reread the whole document page for page now. Not that it bothers me . I can only imagine what other little tidbits I missed skimming through it.

I'll probably end up losing a lot of torque because of the conservative timing they're using.
Sounds like fun . Wish I could help/watch. Probably more watching than helping, I've never tuned an ECU before.

I'm still very impressed by them running Stoich for WOT at such a low RPM. But the Engine is a research converted Ecotec to a one cylinder with completely variable valve timing, not exactly your mom's neon .
