[QUOTE="dohcsvt, post: 15479614, member: 69780"] I have not been around in awhile. I sold my car (Clyde) in 2012 after purchasing it new, modifying and racing the hell out of it (10.3@136) blowing the engine and deciding I should sell it before I hurt myself or ended up in jail. Well he vound his way back to me. The second owner managed to blow the built engine (apparently something went through the blower and took out #5 cylinder) and did not treat the car very well in general. The third owner straightened most things out and made some exterior mods. Anyway to the point, owner #3 had it put on the dyno and found the car running rich and "only" making 730 to the tires at 17 psi. When I sold it was making 813 on 19 psi. At that point in my life more power was all that mattered, now I am a little more interested in being slightly conservative. However, I would still like to see 800 at the tires and wanted to see what the general consensus around here is. My research points to 19 psi, as long as I keep him happily on a diet of brand name 93 octane. After I had the built engine installed, broken in and tuned I popped a head gasket. The shop owner told me detonation may have caused it and I do not want that again. Please give any insight and experience. Ottis [/QUOTE]
