I crafted that with you in mind Sammy... lol...

Dave and I are frustrated with this very notion. We're building the motor to our '70 LT1 Corvette now and are hovering around 8.5:1 compression with a more radical than stock cam. We also had the heads ported for even flow throughout the rpm band. We'll be identical power without the headache or financial drain of always running race fuel.

There's that racing fuel smell that gets me going! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/[/img]

I have Sunoco 260 running through my vains from birth...thanks to my Dad being a racer and my brother owning a Sunoco station. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img] I run VP 112 straight now in my 302...like the way it runs...will see if it likes the Cross ram. Was putting in octain booster at $8.65 for 32 oz. with Sunoco 93,it made more sence to just run 112 for the amount of time it gets driven.
