Nevermind...just called our small local airport...100 low lead avgas is 4.31 and our local supplier of race fuel is 5.75 for 110 oct...
Question still is... most of you guys with 12:1 compression have you ever figured out what the min. octane level you can safely run at..I assume some where between 98-100 is that about right??? Thanks again for the help..
Like Mostly Crue was trying to explain to you .........it depends on the "brand" of fuel rather it be TRICK or VP or TORCO or UNICAL the list goes on and on. First you need to decide on a brand of fuel then go to there website get the phone number and call and talk to them about your application and "they" will recommend what fuel would best suit your needs. As for AV-Gas as was mentioned before lots of guys are running it in blown and high compression NA engines with no problems. However, it is all in the jetting and tune up. Av-gas is dry and requires and additive such as Miracle oil for lubrication. I used it with my 598 13.5:1 motor with no probs.
