13:1 is easy with E85, no problems with detonation at all in my other 455 with that much compression, so 11:1 is super easy for it.

I like that sentiment Keith, driving an engine stand. Have everything I need to build one except the radiator and front end. Will probably just build a body for it out of fiberglass and odds and ends.
