sorry thats just plain wrong. Octane rating is gasses resistance to burning. a high compression car or a forced induction car requires the higher octane because too much pressure on a low octane gas can cause it to ignite without a spark andbefore the top of it's stroke= KNOCK

im going to have to call bs on the torque and hp numbers off the bottle.
if you are running a b16 you should be around 125lbs of torque. and that hp number is a little high for a stock BLOCK b16 too.
if you have been on the dyno that much post some dyno sheets.
did you put the throttle body and header on after you took those pictures? because in the picture they are stock. and 69mm is way to big for a b16.
post your dyno sheets
there is no such thing as a spoon block and spoon head.
also, there is no such thing as "low compression rods" its low compression pistons.
you CANT have a vafc AND a hondata computer.
post your dyno sheets
12:1 compression is a lot for that much nitrous without some serious tuning and high octane gas (like 113).
how and why did you fit your 3" stainless exhaust to your STOCK muffler. that is pointless and stealing your power.
i dont know how your car doesnt detonate with anything below 91 octane, unless you have no timing in it. my civic has 11.5:1 and sometimes knocks with 91.
if you take out that economy ls tranny and put in a b16 or type r tranny with lsd you will get about a full second off your 1/4.
post your dyno sheets.
if you want some real honda advice, go to www.honda-tech.com it is hands down the best forum for hondas.
