Most compression on 93 octane
Not sure where to ask this. The setup i have planned would be around an 11.6:1 compression. I live in va so 93 octane is not a problem. While im at it; more compression does add power right

that is pushing it especially when the weather gets hot, i wouldn't go over 11:1 -11.25:1personally. More compression allows you to run bigger cams which in turn makes bigger power.

efi usually gives you a little more compression to get away with on pump gas than carbs do. My nova's right at 11:1 and no pinging at all, even on the nitrous
