will the fx400 need race gas?

Horsepower is not the factor for the uses of a high oct fuel.Compression determens the type of fuel used. 8 to 8.5 on comp. can use reg. gas,9 to 9.5 pre. fuel, 10 to 10.5 pre. fuel with additive. 11 on up racing fuel. This saves the motor not nesseecery makes the power.Compression makes power the right fuel makes it work. This is over simplyifing the whole thing.But that how it goes.

no, you need the race gas to prevent detonation. with the high compressions, the gas/air mixture explodes on its own, before the spark plug sparks, and that is not good. think of putting your body into a space that is 1/12 the size of it! you get the picture. i dont get why cannondale would put such high compression on a stocker! people are going to blow them up! hey, i get it, more money for cannondale!
