I will start off this post by saying this forum has some of the most helpful and normal people out of many forums I frequent. I haven't seen much "fanboyism" surprisingly, and people are quite down to earth in the mustang versus forums, stating pros and cons of the new SS for example. But I am so frustrated that every time the octane thread comes up, half the posts are "93 unleashes the power, I FEEL IT", and the other half are, "you bought a 40k car and you can't afford 91 octane? lawl u poor or sumtin?" Ok, exaggeration, and I'm not sure if anyone else is semi-annoyed at all those posts, but I would love to see some actual numbers.
Cause if anyone can feel the difference in a double blind test of 5-10 hp, then they must be in the top .00000000000000000001% of driving enthusiasts. And that's assuming 91 or 93 octane is actually giving more power.
Let's not forget at how many people will claim an axleback exhaust adds power, or 3'' pipes will add 20hp, intake and tune and I'm basically a gt350, etc.
Sorry I'm probably ranting over nothing, so
tl;dr - any actual numbers? "feels better" doesn't seem very scientific.
