Very nice for that weight!

Keep in mind though that running any octane level above what you need to keep detonation at bay will cut into the HP numbers.

I never said 112 was pump gas. Motor is 11.1. and will run on pump gas which I run on the street. I choose to run some 112 at the track for a safer tune considering the junk gas at the pump.

I have done the same so far. Mine is just over 11 to 1 . I think it's safe on pump gas but mix a gallon or so of 110 in to be sure. At least until I am sure of the tune.

Great 60' time. My car is 11.2 CR and I run 93 pump without issues. I've had the motor apart and no signs of detonation.
