Pinging?

Pinging?
I have a 70 Mach 1 with a fairly built 351C 4V. Running 11:1 compression. I have 93 Octane with a bottle of booster and i still ping at high RPM's. I found some Sunoco 112 that the dirt track racers use. What do you all think about cutting maybe a gallon or two to every 10 of 93 to bring my octane level up? Running race fuel is out cause its over $6gal.
Any info appreciated

RE: Pinging?
Sounds like you got problems that increased octane isn't going to help. 11:1 compression isn't really all that high. Agree with Soaring, have you checked your timing? By the way mixing one gallon of 112 octane fuel with 9 gallons of 93 octane (final volume of ten gallons) woudl only raise the octane to 95.

You might consider running a bigger camshaft to reduce the dynamic compression. What cam are you running?
It sounds like your dynamic compression ratio is too high (around 9.3 or lower is all you can get away with on 93) which is always lower than static which you say is 11:1. Does running the race gas cure it? Or, consider adding a 3-4 gallons of the race gas and also reducing your timing.

Well here's the problem. I have a fairly hot Ford Racing cam im not quiete sure of the dynamic compressioin i will have to check. Tried adjusting the timing this past weekend and it appears as though the dampener has "slipped" Im not real good with this stuff but my chevy buddy is and we coulded see how far advanced it is. The guy who i bought the car from said it was tuned for 104 octane turbo blue so i am pretty sure the timing is advanced but i dont know to what. Any ideas? Cylinder one is front on passenger side correct?
