Thanks for the info thermal. But are there any engine choices that produce 160+ whp on regular octane gas? Like I said I drive a lot and I don't want to get killed at the pump, that’s why I want an engine that runs on regular gas.

If guys are running regular gas in the B16, how much wear is that creating on the engine? Is the pinging severe or does the lower octane really have no effect on the engine?
