FWIW,My engine builder did note that a lot of L78/L72 engines that get rebuilt don't actually get to 11:1 when completed, for whatever reasons (head gaskets etc.) I know that my L78 will ping/detonate with straight pump gas (stock everything basically, timing all in at 3k) It seems to run best on a mix of Cam2/Avgas and 93 pump gas
