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.

Quoting CavittP@aol.com:
After 13-years of pokin' along behind my 150 HP powerplant, I'm starting to
explore what's available for having my existing engine modified for more
HP... Already tried a LSE electronic ignition replacement for one of my
mags which worked great - for about 30 minutes at a time (seemed to be a
temperature related intermittent condition so am back to the ol' reliable set of
magnetos). Maybe high-compression pistons? Fuel injection? Is there an
engine shop out there that specializes in souping-up little engines
someone an recommend?
