I have 10:1 to compression and regularly run 93 octane with no ethanol
(out here in Rockford we can still get the good stuff).  I don't have
any problems with it, but keep in mind my cam has a bit of overlap,
which will effect "actual" compression ratio.

Question:  The premium fuel available in the chicago area is ~93 octane,
with
%10 ethanol added. How high can I comfortably take the compression
ratio,
using
this fuel? I'm guessing at around 10:1 ?
