I build 10.5:1 /6 engines pretty regularly. 93 octane and single plug. That's about the limit without going twin-plug, but all of them on the road have been fine.


Why don't I see this in Type 1 or Type 4 engines?

Some rough math suggests a 2.0 @ 8.5:1 is an 85hp engine, while the same engine at 10.5:1 would give almost 120hp.



Just thinking out loud..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

where ya planning to buy gas for it?

i paid $10/gal for leaded 110 at the track 2 weeks ago

short answer - yes it will break

if you are going to run 91 octane pump gas, stay below 9:1 - better yet just buy euro 2.0 p&c's and live with 8.5:1 & do the other things proven to make power like cam & throttle body

- i'm not sure your rough math is correct - ask another question -- ask the guys to put up their dyno results
