<VV> RE: BMEP was octane

More BMEP also means better thermodynamic efficiency, usually. This also  
means for a given power level, less heat goes into the already marginal cooling  
system.

No, no,  no!  Brake Mean Effective Pressure (BMEP) is just brake  torque
(normalized for displacement).  Unless you want to go slow and  take a long
time to get there, you do not want to limit BMEP.  You  want to control the
PEAK pressure, not the mean pressure.  BMEP good.  More BMEP, more good.
