Phil,
run a rally car / WRC car on normal Super-unleaded and see how long it lasts . IF pump fuel was as a higher octane, I would gladly be running higher compression, as it would be a win-win situation. Unfortunately it isn't. It is much safer / better more power to run low compression high boost then having to run the retard you are running to allow the boost you are running. Perhaps you should stick an EGT gauge on your car to frighten yourself .
just one more

how about the equivilant of 600 continuous flat out miles ?? , hows that for a hi comp on pump fuel at +30lb on a T34

not forgetting the road sections and road miles whilst testing these will be in the thousands.

mike, you listen to harvey gibbs to much pal
