You are not pushing the car safely according to tuners and a very good possibility that the car is notifying you of this unsafe condition. I would heed the advise and increase octane and or lower have a custom tune. You could have multiple issues right now and very well could be plug related but just the fact that your octane is not sufficient throws a red flag. You could be damaging the plugs prematurely due to detonation or a number of other factors. When you pull the plugs they may tell you quite a bit.

To add, i believe Luminous and a few others are on stock ignition other than plugs making 550+WHP. Dont think thats an issue.
Sounds good. I'll remix fuel and make a log after my car gets serviced.
Cheers!
