[QUOTE="One2Many, post: 16697773, member: 166232"] hey guys, So I have a 2013 gt 500 that was full bolt with cams, it made 761 rwhp and 703 lb torque (had slight clutch slippage) on 91 octane fuel which is the only fuel I have available in my area. Anyway that didn't last long as the car started smoking not long after getting it home and later finding out I had a warped passenger side cylinder head. I did plan on building the engine at some point anyway, so off the L&M my block went for hopefully a one and done build. The guys doing the work to my car expect it to be somewhere around 800 rwhp when its all said and done thats with the factory blower still and a conservative tune. I don't see anyone putting down big hp on 91 octane pump gas and I'm starting to question the safety of my motor as id rather not have to do this build again. The turner says it can be done safely on 91, but all the research iv done I'm not finding any information to back that up. most guys are at least running 93 octane it seems. Anyway just wondering what you guys think... also any recommendations for added safety. keep in mind I have no access to 93, e85 or any race fuels... thank you [/QUOTE]
