BTW - I'm had my new engine built to almost identical specs to the engine in that car 
.. I just went with 11.7:1 compression instead of his 10.9:1 and with 4 degrees more duration on the camshaft...

I also remember he was trying to figure out how to pull the front tires. I don't think that would have been a problem without traction.
GS - I think he was using his car on the street, that might be why he backed off the compression and duration. I hope you didn't screw up a good formula....Smilie.

Considering the long duration on my cam - I should be able to run 93 octane if I back off the timing a few degrees. I know people that are runing 93 octane on 12:1 compression engines with smaller cams...so I should be ok.. However - I'm planning on running 100 octane at the track!
