          The lowest octane your setup will run without detonating. Always the best.

              E-85.


              Wait, no. Moonshine. I meant moonshine.

              And for your 2nd question, 599BHP. Any more and your engine will esplod.

                    navy isn't part of the military?




                    LJ851 hit the nail on the head. there are more factors than just octane and boost numbers to equate hp. Do you have ethanol? water injection? To be honest it doesn't sound like you know too much, and it's time to pick up a book and read.
