Pete,
I have 10:1 pistons in my IO 360, but the concerns over 100LL make me  
worry a bit about the high compression engine.  I'm sure it will all  
work out, but if I had an engine that would run well on lower octane  
fuel - I'd feel much better about it.  You might keep that in mind if  
you're thinking about converting to something more high performance.

It really sounds like there will be some sort of high octane option  
because of the (vocal) portion of the fleet that needs it.  But cost?  
availablity?

Just something to think about.
