I think I remember reading on the Genesis forum some time ago it was said that the Genesis engine's potential horsepower maxed out with 91 octane rating. I believe (in the Genesis at least) that 87 could be run if that specific individual engine would behave with it, but a lower horse power would result. Engine ignition timing settings, compression ratios, etc. would be a big part of whether that would be fact.
I guess that would be a general statement for most engines, but I wouldn't bet on it for the Cadenza. Sometimes HP ratings are committed to on manufacturer statements under strange DOT or place of origin regulations and guidelines.
Any opinions out there? I guess this may not be the kind of answer murrwin is after.
