What would be our equivalent to US 100 Octane? I know their fuel is rated different to ours.

Not sure of the exact figures but I read somewhere that you add 5-6 points to the US number to get the UK/EU equivalent...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octane_rating Yes 5 points is about right.

So 100 in the states would equate to 105 over here then?

Seems so John. I've seen something in the states but it needs 100 Octane minimum. It's not going to happen unless the motor gets pulled to pieces , pistons etc 12.5- 1 compression - just too mad, I thought it was going to be. Race fuel only it sounds like.

Yeah sounds a bit much. You could try retarding the timing but all a bit of a gamble

Yes John , 454 Chebby , Ally heads, the timing is around normal 18 intial 38 max, possible scope to decrease.....
