What measures would I need to take to run a C.R. of 10.8\1 on the street. This is a weekend car, so no DD here. I have edelbrock heads and 3 core radiator to help keep temps down. It has the stck fan, should I switch to an electric fan?

Will these be safe to run on the street with pump gas?

yes it will be safe to run on pump gas but you will have to run the good stuff.

I am already used to that so that will not hurt me. Do you think I should upgrade the w\p, fan or anything?

Thanks

If you're limited to 92/93 octane, I wouldn't run any more than 10.5 to 1.

The Engine Masters magazine has a lot of info on that subject. They probly have old articles on their website.

10.8:1 isn't bad at all, but if you get crappy gas, you will definatly know. I think your doing it right, keep the temps down and you'll be fine.
