Zero,
Are there any advantages when running the whipples in relation to octane ratings? I would assume that detonation has more to do with the cylinder head design and hotspots inside the engine/combustion chamber/ cylinder (also a relation to intake temps).?
I.E. - "I can safely make 50 more hp at the same octane rating, compression ratio, # of static boost with the Whipples". Or maybe is it that they are just more efficient therefore yielding a better average horsepower under the curve, and possibly a higher peak. Or can you actually run additional/more boost everything else being equal. Does my question make sense?
(I may have answered my own dumb question....)

^^^^ How many hours on them things now? Thought you threw a rod first time out, what was the issue if you don`t mind me asking?
Btw, how do you like that BOOOSTANE stuff?

BOOSTANE is incredible - I'll never run my boat without it again. Using one can per 100gal w/93 octane. Cheap insurance - it's not so much about getting a boost in octane level for me as it is treating the fuel in case you get crap gas somewhere...I know how that movie ends from years past also

That boat was always a solid runner, even with the n/a 850s it was an 87 mph ride. I agree on boostane, i have it for the same reason, just insurance on the water when filling up. I do 2 cans per side, when buying gas on the water. One if i fill up on land.
