I would run 11.0-12.5:1 if you are strictly going to be race gas. The compression will help a TON!

Jeff evans has mentioned to me in email that he builds his race engines at 11.0-12.0:1. For e85 he recommends 11.0:1.

I wouldnt push it too hard on 100oct.. Dont want to take a chance of detonating. Im not sure of the power level you want to cut off at using 100oct but its just not worth taking a chance.

I was thinking like around 500ish just to get a feel of the car..

Ignition will play a significant factor. What does your ign setup look like?

Nice! I have the M&W Pro10 and the Msd HVC coil.
