BTW, it isn't the octane of the alky that lets you run high boost, its the drop in intake tempatures. On 18 lbs of boost and no alky I was getting almost 1800* exhaust temp. With the alky on, I was running 25 lbs of boost with 5* more timing and only running 1600*.
I thought the alky mixing with fuel did raise the octane level. And I believe the drop in EGT's has to do with the advanced timing. Try 18psi vs. 25psi with same amount of timing.
