Have you considered E-85? Might be worth looking into.

Agree. At 12 to 1 with iron heads I would run straight 110 to be safe

With those pistons and open chamber 906 heads, I'd run straight 110 in it.

Thanks for the input guys I was hoping to save a few bucks but if it's questionable at all I will continue to run straight 110. If I made the switch to aluminum heads someday would this be more favorable to a fuel mix? I have thought about E85 but I am just now getting to where I can tune a gas carb a little I don't want to change now very bad lol. Plus the switch to E85 can be a bit expensive initially... Thanks again!

Thanks again! Within a year you will save enough to make the switch to E-85... just have to understand that you only buy E-85 during the summer months so if you need to you fill a couple of 55 gal drums when it tests fine(the tester is cheap).. I use to ask the person ahead of me if I could get a small sample then test it... never had anyone say no.. and they would normally hang around to see the results

We run 100 low lead aviation gas in our 12:1 iron W2 408. $4.50 a gallon and available pretty much everywhere. Its amazing how many small airports there are. We've made in excess of 725hp with it. Check out https://www.airnav.com/fuel/local.html, enter your zip code and you'll find all the local locations and prices.

any pinging is as you know extremely damaging. as said max out your octane right off the bat then proportion downward till it talks on your hottest/driest (most likely to ping) day then back up a bit cuz there is silent ping & you want a cushion to protect your baby

Jonnyj00...100LL Avgas, if you can get, will work great in what you have and be a lot cheaper. My local airport lets me walk right in w/ my gas cans and get as much as I want. I think it's around $3 a gallon. I didn't even think about using Avgas when I first replied.

I can sure remember when people used to argue against avgas on here. Yep, "your car is not an airplane" . Well, I don't know what's wrong with yours but mine sure grows wings when the Av hits the tank.

I walked into the airport Saturday morning and bought 5 gallons. Think I paid $3.79 a gallon. I put 40 miles on the Lycoming powered airboat Sunday so Friday before I go home from work I'll pick up 10 more gallons. They wont let me bring the boat to the pump but will watch me carry all the gas cans I want. lol My coronet will be running it instead of race fuel this year
