Fwiw i was 10.8 on my pump gas engine and made just shy of 900hp, and i wouldn't want to push it any more than that nased on my experience.
"nased on my experience" I believe you when you say that. Could not hang past that.
You know that cam I am selling came off of a 12.5-1 engine that did not detonate on 93 octane right ? Rod bearings looked new I am told.
