Running a high compression engine on pump gas

[TimG]

I've owned my share of L71 Corvettes, some very original low mile versions. I've found nothing works like a splash of race gas. Jack's stuff works for 10 to 1 big blocks or high compression small blocks, but L72 and L71 need race gas to keep them happy. I use one gallon to three or four gallons of pump fuel.

I agree. Anything from back in "The Day" with points, a carb, and over 10:00 to 1 compression will eventually get the rings rattled out of it if you don't give it a shot of real, honest to goodness, 100 octane leaded racing fuel in it once in awhile. In the real scope of things, with what we all have invested in our cars, what does it really cost for a 5 gallon can of Cam2 leaded racing fuel any way? Long live the Big Block!

occasional driving the racing gas won't kill ya in price. Don't really need alot just a decent mixture.
