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. |
Higher Octane will surely improve the performance, but only marginally. No ways will it compensate for the lowered compression ratios

Correct, Even the K&N filter that I installed in my Accord came with a manual that said the battery must be disconnected for atleast 15 minutes. So that the ECM will reset itself and accomodate for the increased airflow automatically.
