I have used a 225 shot on a low compression sbc motor. I have had good luck but most will not reccomend it. I used it on a throw away motor and it lasted for years. Keep with the 150 shot

Most smart guys wouldn't push it to see how far they can go. We take precautions so we dont blow a motor or ringland, or burn a hole in the piston. With a 250 shot I say you need to have a dedicated fuel system with C16 in it. If you go with a 300 you need to start mixing C16 in with your 93. Max on 93 IMO would be a 150 shot.

IMO if you go anymore than 150-175 on pump gas you are playing with fire. It may work for a while or it might pop as soon as you hit it.

As long as the tune up is good, you use the right plugs and pull enough timing you wont hurt it with 93. But if you dont HAVE to run it why would you?

Shiz and I both have sprayed 250 or more on 93 at the Pump gas drags.
