Default *IDEAL* octane rating for a 10.6:1 c/r?

that's basically it. just need to know what the ideal rating would be...but please be realistic if you're going to say something like "conoco 102" or something.

i had an 11:1 gsr in my civic hatch. i always used 92 pump gas. But when i put in 104 leaded fuel, my car kicked supercharged cobras.

you should be fine for reliability reasons on premium pump.
the higher the better for performance.

I run 11.5:1 in b16a and run 93 octane - haven't tried any less, and don't want to experiment...
