Default Re: Compression Ratio Normally Aspirated

I have a 5.7 with TPI from an 87 IROC in my Wagoneer. My compression is 11:1, and the rest of the moter matches. Goes like stink, but without the Alcohol (75% alcohol, 25% water), detonation is a bitch. I think a lot of it is the intake runners heating up the air on the way in. My plugs (NGK) are 2 ranges colder than stock. Anyway, I feed it from a 175 ml/min nozzle, (I'm surprised I use such a small nozzle) and use a 140 PSI pump starting at a very low ported vacuum...starts early and stays on. I fill a 4 litre reservoir about every 3 or 4 gas fillups, and am running 87 octane.
You should put in a knock sensor (with a switch) for everyday.
