The new 500 stroker is 12.4:1 compression, and I have been running it on 100 octane pump unleaded. I have not tried it on lower octane.

What gas station carries "pump" 100 octane gasoline? That sounds like a Sunoco race fuel, unleaded so it is street legal. But I have often seen that more expensive than 110 leaded race gas.
Is this engine with the same Brodix B1 B/S aluminum heads?



There are a few gas stations that sell the 100 octane at the pump, It is Sonoco fuel, and the station is Hill Petroleum. I think it is about $6.00/gallon? The station I got the 100 octane from also sells E-85 and Bio-Diesel. Intresting that they don't sell premium (92-93 octane) unleaded?

The new 500 engine has the max wedge Edelbrock victors with some mild porting. These are the heads that I broke the rocker shaft stand on, so I am currently having the stands milled off and using the billit stands. The cam in this is just a mild 264/264 @ 0.050 (comp HXL lobes), 0.714" roller with 112 LSA. It idles so you know it is there at 1,000 rpm, but has alot of torque. On the otherhand the new 9" converter keeps me from putting much load on the engine at low RPM?
