Re: High compression engine and pinging

aircraft/race fuel would be best but very pricey.....this motor maybe a bit over built for street use I would consider putting in thicker head gaskets to drop the compretion as much as I could...9.5:1 is as much as most can stand on 93 octane without pulling a bunch of timing out of them maybe down as low as 8 to12*(OH boy I'm gonna get flamed for that) being old school and been though this I have used trany fluid to slow the burn down (ouch I'm going to get it again)

Alot is going to depend on what your going to use the truck for???
