Rick:

Unlesss your timing was retarded because of detonation problems, and you advanced it when you put the 114 in, its your imagination. Many articles have been written and tests done to prove this. Higher octane gas burns slower, not faster.

It does smell better and cleans the tips of the pipes, but your car is not faster. If you don't believe me, which I know you don't, bring it to the dragstrip.
