i am not saying the trinity wasn't driven properly, but the rider can make a big difference.

High Octane fuels don't always burn slower just because they are high octane. For example, Sunoco's highest octane fuel is also their fastest burning fuel. Check out their website for more information regarding their fuels.

There are a lot of factors that come into play regarding a fuels ability to produce power. Octane is just a fuels rating regarding detonation/preignition prevention. Other factors such as specific gravity of the fuel, distillation curve, heat of vaporization, burn speed, leaded vs. unleaded, etc, all play a role in fuel selection for a specific application.

Trinity low copmression 686 on 91 octane pump gas vs Sparks 690 with FCR's jetted for 105 octane + cancer additives. The Sparks "setup" was clearly faster.

110 octane PLUS cancer additives...meaning &quot;special&quot; lab potions.

Higher octane gasoline do not burn faster or slower than any differently octane rated gasolines, unless there are other additives in the fuel that are designed to do so. The octane rating of a fuel is merely a numeric rating to measure its resistance to detonation. It does this through its chemical composition. you can learn more about gas than you ever wanted to know by going here:Gas FAQ

Moose,

Compression Ratio is a mechanicial Known it will not change with porting, did you mean Volumetric Efficiency? Some heads can flow over 100%, don't ask me how, I couldn't tell you.

Actually Moose is right. Cylinder fill which is dependant upon many variables will affect compression. Cylinder pressure can and is inreased by aftermarket cams.
