My cold and dry compression is between 185 and 215 on all 8 cylinders.

It is a 1970 455, #48 heads, and a '65 intake. Unknown bore, stroke, and cam, specs with timing at 12 initial and 32 total.

I need to run 91 octane with a 16 oz. bottle of boostane. Even with this, I may have issues on hot days. Without the boostane, the engine diesels when turned off.
