What octane should I run

Try that. Local Carb Maker and Tuner since passed who knew his stuff said he could run 240 psi on 87 octane.
I believe it, the guys at Hughes sure don't mind saying 93 pump and 12.5 compression is easy.
Now my 1st couple pulls on my engine before rebuild I used my own formula with 3 gallons of 92 pump and a gallon of toluene. It didn't mind it at 11.6 cr.
That just gave me a sinus infection lol
