But does it make more power at 41 than at 36?
Back before we got so smart with the internet and magazine articles, and racing dynos and flow benches, when guys actually took their cars to the track and actually worked on them and tried stuff, they would sometimes see improved et's with 40° to 44°.
And sometimes they actually didn't see improvements, and sometimes they actually cracked top ring lands and other unpleasant things that come with detonation (which may be inaudible at full throttle...)

Having MORE information to work with is rarely a bad thing...
