Hi,

Sorry to say, unless you can document that this TR6 has a high 
compression ratio, putting in high octane gas is a waste of money. Most 
TR6's (US federal versions) were lower than 8.0:1 ratio.

Use regular gas. If it pings under load, retard the timing and/or try the 
"middle" grade gasoline.

Now, if you shaved the head to the max... that's a different story. Right 
Steve Toth?

bye,
