    Not really. Dynos apply loads using water or friction but its not exactly like driving up hills. Your engine controller has tables it follows and adjusts according to existing sensors like MAP, IAT, RPM, O2 And an estimated fuel flow based on fuel pump flow, fuel injector flow rate which then...

    My statement is correct. Im well aware of flexfuel sensors. They detect alcohol yes. Not octane.

    True, thats why I think people" feel" a performance gain when running higher octane. They are actually not "feeling" the engine timing being reduced by knock. Also density altitude can play a factor in the butt dyno.

    Here is a look at a LS3 main spark vs airmass vs RPM WOT spark tables with low octane vs high octane. If you look the numbers are very close if not the exact same. Download HP tuners and look at some stock Hemi tune numbers in the editor and you will see something similar.

    Key Left Vehicle Feature (Three Horn Chirp)

    A true relay attack copies the key fob temporarily. The criminal can then start and drive off in the stolen vehicle. Provided they put on the seatbelt and close the door of course.

    Key Left Vehicle Feature (Three Horn Chirp)

    The good news is when they steal your truck using a relay attack you will get three beeps as they drive off with your truck! Great job manufacturers.
