DANG!!!!

13:1 is streetable.  All you have to do is run like 115 octane for 76.  I
realize I have a knock sensing system by my 16v has about 12:1 and it will
run on regular (runs better on racing fuel but regular works).  The reason
why I am comenting on this is because I have been contemplating running the
8v solid lifter head on a 16v block and figured the compression would be
similar to this.  Others have said that it would run fine on racing fuel.
Just curious.
