Requires 110 octane?! Well this engine is no good for me. I think New York banned racing gas and replaced it with that **** called ethanol.

I've heard of it, just never seen the specs. I bet there is more potential if that exhaust was opened up a little more. First time I've seen the 1:9 Rockers..

+5 for not liking the race gas setup. It's more of a "race motor" than a crate motor you'd put in just any car...

GM needs to get off their asses and combine somehwat bigger displacement (bigger than 6.2L), low compression, forged internals, and the LS9 supercharger and make something crazy that runs on pump gas...

Actually I wonder what the dynamic compression is for this engine? E85 is 105 octane and can handle 14:1+ static compression without knock. If E85 would work on this engine, it could be a street setup.
