Default What Octane rating needed for 11.0:1 compression???

What level octane does a 11.0:1 compression 383 need?

Should I use an octane booster or Toluene/xlylene??

What formulations are you running in your 11.0:1 motor?

Thanks in advance for your help. :cheers:

Well OEM LT4's come with 10.8 (and aluminum heads) and I run fine on best octane I can get here (91).

Otherwise???

I know a few guys with 11.2 CR LT1's and run strictly on pump gas(93). I have heard of higher than that even. Just depends on how much time your piston hangs at TDC, quench area, piston coatings, and other factors.
