If you advance the timing the spark is what it igniting the fuel, which is wha tis suppose to happen, when it's advanced, then the piston is lower in the cycle so the A/F is under less pressure. Adding octane will not help that. In that case the fuel is being ignited by the spark like it's suppose to when the ignition tells it to, not from the fuel being compressed. If timing is advanced, then you can add all the octane you want and all you'll do is lose power and MPG, and stiil have your problem.
It's not any slower burning it burns at the same rate, and it's not any hotter or colder. It just wont ignite from being compressed as easily.

Well , The Power windows have been working great since .. - The computer was just buggy
Sometimes just zapping the parameters (PRAM) will straighten her up..
If you want to TEMP fix your manifold - High heat Gold W/Copper , made by Permatex will seal between the manifold and head . It has a 700 degree rating and your only @ 250 - 300 degrees in that area. It only 5 bucks and that chit is awesome..
Good Luck
