Joe... I know you rechamber your heads to run on 93 octane premium pump gas. Which is nice... affordable fuel for the averge guy.

Say if fuel expense was not and issue and you bumped up the compression. What type of performance gains do you expect off of increasing the compression on a rechambered head from 93 octane to a race fuel octane requirement.

Would you say you only receive only a marginal increase in perfromamce based off of the comression increase or you might say a very big bang for the buck on the compression increase.

Again, my comparison is a Joeak47 rechambered head going from a compression ratio that requires 93 octane to a compression ration that requires 100 or 110 octane.

BTW Joe, I'll be sending you my head soon and maybe the cylinder and head. I'd just like to wait on the cylinder until I do a top end at the end of this year... but I can't wait on the head rechambering until then. I have no freakin patients.

Thanks!
