Pump gas and compression; With these big cams there is a lot of bleed-off
from the high percent of overlap which in turn lowers compression and with the alluminium heads which you can run more compression makes it able to get away with the higher compression if that makes any sense. All I kmow is that it works for me and a lot of my friends in the same situation I've always used race gas when dynoing my motor for the ease of reading the plugs, they stay cleaner but the next time I use the dyno I'm going to run pump gas first and the race gas and maybe even E-85 just to see what kind of power it makes over gas. And some thing I've found that usually any thing under 200LBS of cranking compression is usually safe for pump gas. I hope this helps any one trying to run pump gas and higher compression. GT |

E85 you are going to need a different carb unless you want to do a bunch of work on dyno time. It would be cool to compare it all. I am a pump gas guy and my High Port 461 is 11.5-1 static CR. I have started out with 99 octane mix and will go to a 95 mix, Finally 92 all pump gas if everything looks good. It cranked 175 psi, but that was before the engine was ever started. It might come up a tad with broken in rings. Can you post a cam card ? |

My RAIV 400 I was racing in the old NMCA Top Stock had no audible detonation on pump gas but picked up 8 hp on race gas at it's 10.25:1.

With a longer duration cam the valves are open for a longer period of time allowing more complete cylinder filling and more time for exhaust scavenging which increases volumetric efficiency (VE). With both valves being open longer during overlap allows the gas discharge to speed up and creates a super charging effect which further increases VE especially at peak torque RPM. Also the more compression the more VE. With a smaller cam and lower compression all these properties decrease so to answer your question, NO.

The HR springs that came with mine were OK. Machine shop did not like the locks though but retainers were OK.

I just placed an order for a set of the 78 cc bare heads and guide plates. I could not resist the black Friday price, I guess this will be my Christmas present to myself. I should buy 10 sets and let them sit for a couple years then re-sell them.
