Octane VS. compression Can someone verify how thick stock headgaskets are? .04 or .05?? With 9.55 compression how high would I be able to boost on regular premium? I figured after calculating that I could run 8.5 lbs. of boost and maintain a static compression ratio of 12.0 to 1 which I believe should be safe on 91 octane. How high of compression should I be able to run on 100 octane? On 13lbs. I calculated a compression of 13.1 to 1. Also does anyone have a similar set-up? I am interested to see what kind of numbers I will be around. Thanks!
