race fuel allows you to run more boost because it burns longer and allows fuel injectors to be more efficient. You can run a little more boost this way

?really?
I thought it was because race gas was less prone to detonation. not because it makes your injectors more efficient.

Octane is the rating of a fuel source to resist igniting/explosion/combustion. When you run race gas it is a slower burning fuel, therefore the ignition can be advanced under boost to give more power or more boost pressure can be run at the same ignition timing. Both of these methods allow for more power production.
If you look at other fuel sources such as alcohols they have a higher octane rating, higher caloric per molecule weight and carry a higher latent heat vaporization point further cooling down the air temperatures inside of the combustion chamber.

Yeah........ Just as long as ALL of you realize that "race" gas in no way makes your fuel injectors more efficient!
