Default Fi ?

I have a 355 LT1 stock compression with forged pistons, stock rods and crank. I am putting a turbo kit with an fmic on it now and only plan to run 9-10psi. I was wondering if it would be ok with just 93 oct or should I run a meth/h2o kit or run some 100 oct fuel in it. The car is going to be used on the street and see some track time. Also how mutch power do yall think this set up can handel?
Thanks

I would run an alky kit even for 9-10psi... you'll make more power with it. Do you need it... probably not if ya have a good tune. You'll probably make in the ballpark of 550-600rwhp @ 10psi with a well designed turbo kit.

I don't think you will be fine at 10psi on 93 oct. I've got 10.7:1 and 7.5psi.

realquick- don't know if you remember me? but if you do, I got my car running now just need to get the exhaust finished and do some tunning.
