And if i can do that i will by all means run 93 i will have to see what happens with the dcr

Amean94ta, same question?

with the cc306 last year it was 11.5 dcr and the main reason i should have been running 120+ and why the car was a dog i got bad info while building it and trusted the wrong people

with this new solid roller setup i dont know yet i will have to ask bret baur i am driving up there to drop off my heads and some money next week if he gives me the go ahead on 93 i will run it but n/a only of course

Re: why are you afraid to run race gas?

The goals that you want could be achieved using pump gas.

Running 13.8:1 and race gas is what guys do with a conventional small block Chevy.

IMO...with reverse cooling aluminum heads it is not needed.
