Ok maybe I'm not clear on it then. The pump unleaded here is 98 octane so I felt safe with a higher compression motor. Its mainly gonna be towed to the track and maybe a few shows

Your octane ratings there are so called 'research octane numbers' (RON). Our octane numbers are the average of RON and MON (motor octane number), and that average number ends up typically 4-5 point lower. So your 98 octane is like out 93 octane over here.

If you are going to tow, go, and show, then you might consider and be able to afford a race fuel as your standard fuel and move up on DCR. But then you are boxed into a corner on fuel type.
