    This is what I am running with very similar results as you.

    87 octane (R+M/2 Method used in the US) is approximately equivalent to 91 RON (used there in Australia).

    Run that level down and try running some 91 RON.

    Don, I read a post where an owner says he had a similar issue and a dealer discovered his engine was in “demo mode” which limited it to 75% hp even though it was registering 100% demand linear. His explanation was the dealer reset or reflashed and the result was night and day.
    Is this possible??

    This is not possible on your ProXS.
