boost=more heat/possible timing issues. higher octone lowers detonation.

Re: octane
 
the lower the octane you run without knock the more power you will make. Octane ratings are simply its resistance to combust and also detonate.

Generally 91+ pump is fine for lower boost levels.

But it really depends on your compresstion ratio, ignition timing and psi.
