Higher octane-rated fuels, and water or methanol/water injection, are not performance improvers. Sorry Cam but I disagree, back in the late 80"s early 90's, in F1 we were using the so-called "Funny Fuels" these had octane boosters and Oxidizing agents.

In an ideal situation doing back to back tests it would not affect tune very much with all parameters within a few percent, by tu...

Great effort Steve despite your troubles! Hit List of things to check:- Fuel pump - never assume the VFR one is OK, it may be down on flow! Re-connect all the fuel sensing devices that were removed!
