I was under the impression that higher octane numbers equal a slower burn rate. So how would a stock (if that's the case) 599cc engine with a compression ratio designed to burn 87 octane perform better running on higher octane if the compression ratio doesn't change?

I know I'm missing something here...

Check it out.
I knew I wasn't losing it...good stuff.
