I would set the timing back to factory setting. I've heard you can run race gas '100 octane'- just make sure its unleaded race gas 110 octane is usually leaded which would plug your cat. I've heard from other posts this lowers NOx test numbers quite a bit- make sure to run your car for a while before hand to ensure the EGR has opened bypassing the exhaust gases. Just my 2 cents, good luck!

Alcohol is flammable because it contains carbon and hydrogen atoms that can undergo combustion reactions. When alcohol is exposed to an ignition source such as a flame, heat causes the alcohol vapors to ignite and burn, creating a visible flame.
Materials such as flammable gases, liquids, and solids can cause combustion of other materials. Common examples include gasoline, alcohol, papers, wood, and certain metals. Exposure to heat or an ignition source can trigger a chemical reaction leading to combustion.
Combustion -- but the reaction is between alcohol and oxygen -- fire is the process or the reaction itself.
Isopropyl alcohol combustion happens when the alcohol is exposed to a flame or spark, causing it to burn and release heat and light. The potential risks associated with isopropyl alcohol combustion include fire, burns, and inhalation of toxic fumes. It is important to handle isopropyl alcohol carefully and store it in a safe manner to prevent accidents.
The heat of combustion of cetyl alcohol is approximately 41.7 kJ/g. This value represents the amount of heat released when one gram of cetyl alcohol is completely burned in oxygen.
There are some conditions associated with the process of combustion. The substance to be burnt must be combustible (the substance must catch fire easily). Wood, paper, coal, coke, hydrogen, liquified petroleum gas, natural gas, petrol, kerosene, diesel, alcohol, ether etc. are some of the combustible substances. The presence of a supporter of combustion is another condition for combustion to take place. They are nothing but the substances which help combustion of a combustible substance. Oxygen and air are the supporter of combustion. Air contains 21% of oxygen (a supporter of combustion) by volume and 78% of nitrogen by volume which is neither combustible nor a supporter of combustion. That is why combustible substances burn at moderate rate in air but burn at a very fast rate in oxygen. Another condition for combustion to take place is that the combustible substance should be heated so that its temperature reaches its ignition temperature. No substance can burn below its ignition temperature. The substances having low ignition temperature are called inflammable substances. The vapors of these substances in air can catch fire with a minor spark and hence can cause serious accident. Alcohol, ether, carbon disulphide, benzene synthetic fibres are some of the substances having low ignition temperature. If the ignition temperature is below the room temperature the substance can catch fire even without an external source of heat energy.
The combustion of amyl alcohol would produce a blue flame. This is because the blue flame indicates that complete combustion is occurring, where all the fuel is burning efficiently with enough oxygen.
Combustion of alcohol refers to the chemical reaction in which alcohol (such as ethanol) reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and heat. This process is exothermic, meaning it releases energy in the form of heat and light. Combustion is a common process that occurs when alcohol is burned as a fuel source.
when ethanol is used as an additive to motor fuels to act as a fuel for internal combustion of engines, its called "power alcohol"
Yes, it is illegal to have the keys in the ignition while under the influence of alcohol, as it can be considered operating a vehicle while impaired, which is a DUI offense.
