If race fuel is that high you might want to buy some in the states. I know of a shop in greatfalls montana. again I ask you, with all the money you have spent on your engine and drive train, why cheapen up on fuel? one final thought, av-gas is made to work in modern airplanes that have 7-1 compression and run at 2300rpm. does that sound like your motor? :roll: for every guy I hear says they run "it" with no problems I have seen broken parts, rings that dont seal,etc. the dyno doesnt lie, race fuel builds more power. :!:
Thanx Mark,,but to keep buying race fuel for something I drive on the street is not only expensive but inconvenient,and this thing go`s through quite a bit of it , AV gas is not sold here to the public anymore, I`m ok with pump gas, keeps my cost down in that area,and I`ve been building decent power with it, and I`ll stick with it, I just wanted some feedback on a safe compression ratio to run it.
P.S. Ed, I checked out the pistons on the BRC web page,and they look pretty good,,Any idea what the CC is for the dome?
