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.

The 911 has a better combustion chamber and better heads than the Type IV motor does. I think it would be kind of challenging to run a 10.5:1 Type IV motor on any street gas. I'm sure it's been done, at least for a while, but I would bet it's a lot of work to set it up well.
