Hi people-running speedway in nz-would like your views on this combo
Running older electronic as no fuel injection etc all sensors are gone
have max lift values of .50 on both and only 300cfm to play with
is there any advantage on running AV gas?-thinking 98octane
any thoughts would be good would prefer to run it at around 5000rpm
they will pull 6 and more I'm lead to believe, but is there any advantage in doing this with only 300 cfm???? Oh and head mods are basically only allowed to be port matched and polish can get away with slight porting

As far as I know, you can't run av-gas with a cat converter unless you want to melt it.

no cat just in and out--thinking standard ex out into 3 inch for flow and heat reasons(ex manifolds tend to get red hot not allowed headers)
