Anytime you bump up compression, you almost always have to go up in octane on your fuel. You run the risk of having detonation with too high a compression without the proper fuel. The best thing to do is to contact someone who specializes in 400EX motor upgrades. If you get a certain piston from them that's going to increase your compression, they should be able to tell you what octane you need to run.
