Is there any rule if my compression numbers 100 then I should use 87 Octane?
For example assuming my compression numbers are in the 130,140 range do I use a 93 octane or 87?
My new power head a 140 v4 pre-mix shows 100psi what grade of pump fuel is recommend?
Hope the above makes sense.
Thanks

Use 87 octane regular unleaded, mack. Compression would need to be well over 200psi to even suggest higher octane.
