I think adding that the test were done in the UK doesn't really make a difference if they claimed 98ron then everyone can figure 93oct gas would equal those gains (which they wouldn't) but they claim 94hp gain on 98 octane not saying I believe the claim its just they aren't claiming those numbers using 98ron or 93oct

"Performance number gains are quoted based on Engine Power Gains, not wheel horsepower. Testing on the products was done in the UK using 98octane fuel. VRTuned has tested these in-house on several cars and stand behind the Tuning Box Kits work as claimed."
I think they misstated the fuel, 98Ron is the norm in the UK not 98 octane, I'm guessing it was a typo and as these companies basically package up the same tuner box, put together a marketing campaign, show some massive gains and get people to buy. Nobody sells a tune to only run on race gas, it's a typo.
