Another thing to note is that by law octane rating only has to be +or- 4 points. So that means you can pump "93" octane and still really only get 89 octane and that is considered qacceptable by whoever regulates those types of things. And when you consider octane costs money I highly doubt the manufacturers are on the plus side of the deviation.

The only time I'd suggest running over 12:1 on a daily driver is if you have a seperate race gas tune that you will run. Otherwise what is the point of running 13:1 compression if you are going to have to pull timing and detune it to run on 93 octane. You will make just as much power running 11.5:1 and decent tune.

I have had to detune tons of setups with over 12:1
I simply would not recommend anything over a c/r of 11.8:1 on a 1.8L bseries build on pump.
