    • intake air temperature will be higher at altitude due to the compressor having to spin at a higher RPM to achieve the same charge side air density
So, you are actually at a higher risk of detention because air going into the engine will be hotter at altitude.
Interesting. I don’t have your level of knowledge I was basing it on PCA people here.

I'm thinking that only the HEAVY foot people "may" have a problem with 90 or 91...

Recommendation is the same for a multitude of Performance cars and the answer has been the same from all the Manufacturers I sold, 91 is perfectly fine and the 93 Octane is what was used to meet the max HP rating. Not sure why folks are still wondering about whether it is an Ethanol mix, that has not been an issue for any make for Decades.
