I have less than 12.0 to 1 compression and on a hot day I detonate on 93 octane with 28 degree's of timing. When I say hot I mean 90 plus degree's out..

The question is how radical do you want to go? My car with 13.5:1 compression and race gas would make some SERIOUS power and with reduced timing on pump gas I would still make between 530-550rwhp. Honestly I dont know why many do not do this.. I thought of this idea when FMS was building the SS, but I was afraid to be the pioneer.
Maybe one day I will grow some ***** and go back and let Allan do what he really wanted to do
