I'd just like to get some thoughts on what fuel you would run for this combination.
408"
10.7-1 comp
RHS iron head
236/242 .600/.600 110
Holley 830
Spins 6500ish
Street/strip

I think you will ping at that ratio with iron heads and that small of a camshaft.
I think you can run pump premium and throw in a gallon or 2 of 110 with each tank.
