Hello Again Rodknock

Very good question as I launch around 2000 RPM. So how do I do it? I cheat when at the track. I put in racing fuel there. If your at the track your there to race and racing fuel makes more power against a high compression engine. Use what helps to win.

If I did stay with pump 91 I still believe I would be OK regarding detonation. Reason being: I launch around 2000 RPM then step into it slowly to avoid as much spin as possible. Once past first gear the rest of the shifts only drop the RPM to above 4000 so the problem is self eliminating.

So you have a Kirkham. I recently saw one of these at a locale show here in Central Oregon. Man what A nice car. Exceptional craftsmanship, engineering, and component quality. Good luck on your build and I hope you will post some pictures and let me know when it is done.

As far as wives go. I am sure we are all very lucky to have ladies that will put up with the ridiculous addiction we call a hobby. Maybe they are smarter than we think. At least they are rid of us in the shop all day!!!!
