| hold on a second. Compression and compresion alone does NOT denote how much octane and engine 'needs'. Cylinder design, cam specs, gear ratios all play a part in what octane will yeild the most hp. You can't make a blanket stating that a 10.8:1 compression engine will make more hp with 93 octane fuel cause it just ain't true. You have to take in other factors. I race turbocharged cars and we run all kinds of boost (27 lbs) on 93 octane pump gas.. so it can be done.. | |

Replying to: flyingn (Dec 13, 2006 10:23 am) Cylinder and head design, valves, cams, and probably timing would have an affect, sure. But the primary factor is still the effective compression ratio. How would your turbo run on 87 octane?  -juice
