would running 14* on 91 octane be ok?

i heard it gets better gas mileage.. does it put more wear on the engine?

12* on 91 octane. I tried 14*, but on real hot days at WOT I would hear a slight ping. Backed it down to 12*, and no problems.

Isn't the stock setting 10° BTDC? Or is it ATDC?

If you figure it out let me know cause since I switched to a ported lower and a 80mm MAF I cant keep mine from pinging either. Right now Im running 8* on 91 cause that's as good as it gets in my area.
