I hear that. I just took compression out of my engine and made it pump friendly. Gas sucks anymore and the best I could get in racing fuel was 7 bucks a gallon last year.
When my cousin used to race his '48 Anglia (427) he was a military pilot. Needless to say he got all his AV gas for free!! That stuff really smells good when it comes out of the exhaust (flames are pretty also)!! Treblig
