I have never run higher compression before but I just picked up a new head for my 800R with 14:1 domes. Headed to IP in two weeks and my question is about the octane I should run. Planning on filling up with 91 octane and dumping an octane boost in with it just to be safe. Should be around 93-94 octane I figure.
So - am I going to be safe down low at that octane?? Will I HURT performance running the octane boost?? I have heard some sleds run worse on higher octane fuel.
Main reason I was going to run the octane boost was just to make sure I didn't hurt my motor if I happened to get some bad gas or whatever. Basically just a safety measure. I want to ride the whole time I am out there and don't want to be spending time wrenching.
Thanks for the help.
