that there is no need for software changes/upgrades when switching to different gas octanes? Do other chips automatically adapt to these changes?

Default Caveat...

I believe they all do, within a couple of octane points... but I don't think any of the tuners (including Abt) can lay claim to an automatic compensation from say... 93 to 100.

As always, I could be wrong.

Does anyone know if ABT has a software upgrade for race gas?
