When using anti-knock additives for more octane, is added ignition advance needed because of slower burning time? Do some additives suppress knock without slowing flame propagation?

"Panic"- Think about it : Anything which increases the octane rating(it's gonna be expensive!)an appreciable amount is going to allow you to "bump" the timing ; this will yield more power, due to increasing the pressure (BMEP) in the cylinder(s). Slowing the flame front? Hmmm... I doubt it!
