They don't run "pump gas" they are 14:1. They are about to switch to Sunoco instead of 76 anyway. I have seen many a windsor that makes 550 hp with less than 11:1 compression and staying below 7000 rpm, give those another three points of compression, move the powerband up 1000 rpm, and maybe. It wouldn't even think about being a street motor by then however.
