But how the heck do you get around the fact that decent boost + high-compression motor - race gas = detonation? One would assume you'd need like 100+ octane to have it play nice with more than 7-9 PSI without dropping the compression.
Actually, from every V8 I've ever seen S/Ced, not lowering the compression isn't an option if you want to run 91-94 octane.
