A lower octane fuel will begin combustion too early since it ignites more easily and the energy from the ignited air and fuel expanding is wasted, trying to force the piston downward when the piston is traveling upward.
Easy mode: The chip needs higher octane fuel because it is harder to burn 91 octane than 87 octane and the new settings with the chip would cause 87 octane to burn too soon and waste power.

On a stock motor with no FI, a chip works better than Megasquirt. I can make a chip work on a turbo motor also. Why is it that people mention MS or the other options, but don't say that you also need a wideband AFR to tune it properly? It's not the solution for everyone. Some people are not able install and tune a system like those.
i want MS but it depends on what peoples budget or plans for the future are like if i went MS i would most likely go turbo in the future and if i didnt want to go turbo and keep the m20 i would chip it. or chip a swapped motor]

not to say that an off the shelf chip isn't a good option. But there's no way it's the best performance, unless you dyno tuned each car yourself. It's a very good compromise from a performance vs ease of use perspective. Plug it in and go. maybe that's what you meant to say..

Megasquirts or stand alones are definitely not for everyone. But if you are a gadget whore and a control freak who is constantly trying to push the performance envelope then its the only way to go.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

Of course you need things like a wideband if you're going to tune it yourself. You also need dyno time. When you buy an off the shelf chip those are fixed costs spread over many copies, but they do still exist. Just not in a "finely tuned specifially for your motor" form.
