I'm not Eric but I'm pretty sure he's running Racegas and a 25 - 30 shot of NOS. If I had to guess on Octane selection, I would guess 118 - 119 depending on brand. I'm sure Eric will correct me if I'm wrong.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

The 16:1 happens because of the large displacement of the motor. We have the same cylinder head but way more bore and stroke compressing against it.
No alky or nitro. I'm running 114 HCR+ Sunoco; this was their head engineer's recommendation on my engine combo.
I'll take a quick revving 120hp motor over a slow revving 180hp motor any day.
