That's the rest of the quote... i didn't miss the fact he's running 118 octane or whatever, but even still, this is 15-1.
I guess its feasable, but the only cars i've ever heard of doing this much compression run leaded gas.
He's probably running that "one-gear" setup that most super-drag cars use. I forget what its called, though, or the physics behind it. It wont apply to me, so, no need to learn too much about it.
