Why would you stay away from E85? Theres nothing wrong with it if the proper precautions are taken.

Leaded gas is ok but you need special valve seals I THINK (not completely sure) plus it is kind of hard on o2 sensors as well.

just buy an elctrnoic boost controler and stop being a tight *rs*! lol

really if you are running high comp you need to get the engine mapped properly by guys that know what they are doing. like other have said, as the comp gose up, your margin for error gose down!

well i think itll be lower now i got some 72cc heads now

so i got a 218/218 560/560 114 how do u think this will do i got it cheap and it was close to what the guy at comp said i would need\

and with caddy lifters good to 8k the patriot springs should be plenty for a small lift cam i might put 1.8 shafts instad of 1.7 on it
or will i need better because i was told boost is hard on the springs
