Tractor Vet and Bob M are both dead on with their statements about high-octane fuel. To put it simply- the higher the octane, the cooler it burns. This is why higher octane will withstand more compression and/or timing advance before it detonates. Higher compression and the maximum timing a specific engine combination will tolerate are what makes more power, not the fuel octane rating. For maximum power you should run the very least octane rating the engine will tolerate without detonation under load.

To get back on subject, my grandad told me about moonlit nights back in the 30's when he and his brother would trade off mowing hay all night with a Regular pulling two seven foot bars. He didn't mention anything glowing but he said there was always a flame out the exhaust.
