Default What fuel do i run?

So im building a 1000plushp fbody 370 big turbo etc etc. Will I still be able to run 93 or would e85 be a better choice? id rather run 93 because e85 fuel is few and far between here. All help is appreciated!!!!!

MUCH more info needed. In theory if you dropped your CR low enough and ran low enough timing you could run the setup on 87 octane (in theory).


Info like how much boost will your engine require to hit 1,000 at the tire? What will your CR be? Will this be a full time RWHP or just part time? Auto, or manual transmission? What rear? If just pump gas, 93 alone? Or with meth injection or FMIC?
