Detonation on 408 Stroker

Do a compression check. I cant see detonation running 99 octane unless you are up around 11.5+ and/or your timing is messed up. What does your mechanical advance curve look like ? And are you running vacuum advance ? If so which canister and is it hooked to ported or manifold vacuum ?

Why? With iron heads and that small cam? You're not gonna run 11.5 with iron heads without a LOT of science and work. And he sure ain't gonna do it with that cam he has.
