What heat range for 118 fuel?
I ended up picking up a barrel of 118 leaded fuel, non oxygenated, nothing else was available. 14:1 517 Ia2 380 High Port heads. I know I probably don't need that much , but didn't have much to choose from and wanted to make sure i have enough for the year and I got a pretty good deal on it.
. Previous combo at 13:1 was a 7 plug and trying to decide what heat range would be best. High Ports are now 64 cc and 14:1.

what fuel were you running before? Im at about 14:1 hi ports 540 and had run a 7 on e85, tried an 8 on c10 and then went to an autolight -10 equivalent on a recommendation, and wont go back down but thats on 110/112 octane. I beleive my plugs were glowing at 7500 and causing some issues that went away with the colder plug

Even with that level of compression that 118 will cost you some power if your trying to scratch out every last drop of Hp.

We have 8s in all three cars. I made a few runs with 10s in my motor but had other issues & switched back to the 8s. 571 c.i. around 15 compression on my motor , dads is 565 same compression & my sisters is a mild 535 build.

In 2020 when I had dad’s motor on the dyno I tried two fuels both from VP. X14 & 14+ we picked up about 8hp with the x14 over the 14+ but lost 13 ft lbs of torque. Last summer I used renegade 120 (what the engine had & had originally dynoed with ) & fuel factory f14. My first pull I used my engine builders fuel & carb which was a 1450 braswell. Second pull my 1250 get’m & the f14 and I picked up 11hp. Then we started tweaking and playing to get more numbers

You can mix 3 gallons of 93 with 7 gallons of 118 and end up with a little over 110 octane.
