Are you sure about your compression ratio?? What is the cc of your heads?? The valve arrangement on the bbc should make it hard for you to get to 10:1

my books show from 62-69 bbc 396 as being 10:25-1 compression there was some sbc's that had 11-1. and there are places that sell 100 octane pump gas

yeah i know there is places that sell 100 octane gas but im having a hard time finding it here in the sargetn comstock ord area thats why tranny fluid or some sort of octane boost is more feasable for me plus if i do find some "good gas" its likly im going to be in the wifes car so i prolly wont have any place to store some full jugs
the reason im askin about the octane boost is i dont want any hassels or problems when it comes time to race
10:5 to 1 on the compress sorry bout the mis statment
