Bob....
Go with an alcohol/water mix (60/40) and
I am quite sure you could run up to 8psi
boost on 9.4 with no problem but, you're
gonna be far better off running both the
foregoing along with an ignition retard system or, limiting advance to
something
like 24 degrees on a regular mechanical
advance distributor considering the best
you can get in terms of pump fuel will
be 98RON unleaded.
MSD makes an excellent boost retard
ignition system and I am sure Aldon over
there has some ideas in this respect as
well which may very well consist of a mechnical curve modified by a
vacuum
RETARD system ported to the intake
manifold.
On the other hand....MiniSpares
(MiniMania over here) runs a supercharger kit
for the 1275 and I am sure they also have
a modified distributor to suit this application as well. It might very
well
be adaptable to your application.
There are a couple of alternative ways to
go here, but an alcohol/water injection
system will do wonders to help you along
in this application, for sure.
