<VV> watches at ventura and corvair pistons

Tim,
     Since the cost of premium gas is only about  7% more than regular, just 
use premium gas and get both better mileage AND  better power than you would 
if you detuned the engine so it could use  regular.  Or, if you insist on 
running regular, you have 2  choices.  Run water (not vapor) injection or use one 
of Ray  Sedman's SafeGuards to automatically retard the ignition timing when 
necessary  to prevent pinging or detonation.

any  comments on sealed power forged pistons ? with the coating on them?   
stock 020 with 95 heads or 110 heads for regular gas?
these somehow  missed getting the octane cut.
i am bummed figuring my next move (mostly  because i was not paying  
attention).
