Bill,
Could it be that you're trying to "over-technify" the anvil? I feel that
there are many more critical things to worry about and consider regards my
racing operation, namely keeping my motors "upstairs" out of the "downstairs"
and driving over its innards in the process.
We have run ERC 110 gas in both the blown and unblown motors, 12.5:1 CR
in the NA and 8:1 in the blown setup with 20 PSI showing on the tattle-tale
after the run.
My approach is to let Rick Gold worry about all the formulation of his
gases, then suggest which grade I should run in a particular application.
The biggest problem we had on gas last year was when the tuneup was too
lean, resulting in the "big-bang" right in front of Glen's timing stand.Kinda
hard on the drivers underwear............Ardun Doug
