That is a good read. I used several of the detonation prevention methods in my engine and I think that is why I'm getting away with running 8 lbs boost with 11:1 compression.

Jim, I'm curious, what is air inlet temp,(after blower), at 8 psi.boost ?

[Jim Stabe]

Don't know, I don't have a way to measure it. I do have water/methanol injection right after the blower that will cool it down considerably but I don't have any data.

Ok, 91 octane ?

[Jim Stabe]

That's all you can buy in the People's Republic of California.

You could try this http://www.racegas.com/fuelfinder just type in your zip

Better to tune for readily available octane so you can buy gas anywhere. Closest to me on that site is 25 miles away through horrible traffic and they aren't open on the weekend.

Has anyone ever used Calico's CT2 coating.

If so do you have any feed back such as how did you apply it, how did you prep the surface, how well has it worked?
