Default Can this be done on pump gas?

My motor is fully forged, 8.8:1 CR (LT1). I have a FMIC, and plan on running meth injection.

I am going to go with an 88mm turbo. I want to stay with pump gas because there is no E85 in my area, and it will not be a track car.

I want to make 800-1,000 at the tires. Can this be done safely on pump gas?

As a side question, what size and brand injectors would you recommend?

Are you opposed to methanol injection?

That would make it a lot easier and safer.

At that compression, as long as you've a good intercooler I dont see a problem making the power if the setup supports the numbers. Unless the gas available to you is totally horrific

Read my post. I said I was planning on running meth and a FMIC.

The octane here at premium is 93, so should be good (better than 91 or lower like other places).

Thanks for the input!
