There is a way to figure out them mean octane of fuel you put in by math.
This is what I do:
4 gallons of race fuel(112) and 15 gallons of 93 octane equals 19 gallons total.
Divide 4 by 19 and get .21, then multiply that by 112 equals 23.6
Divide 15 by 19 and get .79, then multiply that by 93 equals 73.5
Add the totals and that's your total octane, 23.6 plus 73.5 equals 97.1 octane
Try that and see what you get. On the safe side you should probably shoot for 94 or 95 octane.

I used a fel-pro 1094 head gasket on the stock short block, and the compressed thickness is .015, so I figure 10-1. It could be higher but I'm not sure. I'll try the math you suggested
