   What do you mean by small?
  
   I just don’t think you have a very good grasp of the issues and the 
relative
effects in this context.   The theoretical effect on power is  in the 5-10%
range.    The observed effect on detonation margins is to allow twice that or
more in increase of detonation free BMEP.
