The simplest way to get more power is to start using a higher octane fuel. (93 octane if available...)

The knock sensors in the engine will automatically adjust the timing and mix of the engine for more power as the fuel is now less likely to pre-ignite.

Dom, i was reading on a palio board that they disconnect the battery for some time before putting in higher octane coz this resets the ecu/knock sensor values i guess, it this neccessary? shouldnt the car just keep updating the knock sensor values/info on its own?

cheers
