Default All It Needs Is Gasssss!!!
Engine is in and all hooked up. Ready to be fired up tomorrow. All it needs is gas. Reduced compression to 9.6 - 9.8, 330HP. Regular or Premium?

I’d go with regular 87 octane and see if it pings.

Looks great. 87 octane is fine.....you won't be loading it hard for right now anyway. Just need something to burn.

The engine rev noise zapped the mike on my iPhone.It quit working for about two hours. Had to reboot my cell. My Dynomax Super Turbos and the mandrel bent 2.5 exhaust pipes just arrived. Everything will be cleaned, tig welded and recoated.
