But isn't it just more of a hassle/expense to make the car NEED race gas? I mean why not lower it a point or even half a point and lose what, a max of 20whp? And have the ability to run 93 without any problems.

There is nothing that that extra half-full point of compression is giving you that just a little larger of a nitrous jet can't without having to worry about race gas.

i always run race fuel when im on the jug so its not a big deal ,besides i should of said it earlier but im more than likely goin to e-85 over the wint anyways .i know you guys are just tryin to figure out why i did that but the car isnt a d/d for me it mostly gets driven late at night on the weekends, or at the track yes i do drive it on occasion with my sons in it but it is a toy .i weighed all the options before i pulled the trigger with it ,i know i could of went 383 or bigger for what i have in it but its what i wanted and my god it does what it needs to do very well i must say .oh and im runnin le2 heads for now

Gotcha, was somewhat under the impression it was DD.
E-85 will simplify it
