Numbers for these cars are all over the place depending on what your boosting with. Do you own a Camaro?

Stick.
Probably a procharger D1x
Ported heads, valves, exhaust (intake on a pro) and cam are all going to change boost psi. So, I'm asking for an apple to apple comparison, or as close as possible, to try and theoretically figure out where I need to be.
Fuel depends on the FCR. You can't force an engine to drink a fuel it doesn't like for very long. And it would be backwards to say I'm running 91 octane and want 800 hp. Only place I know that can make a combo like that work is Fantasy Motorsports. The fuel is what I trying to figure out. But I need to have a ballpark FCR. That means I need a ballpark psi. The volume vs octane tightrope, IMO, is what is killing these motors.
So, for example, (assuming a 2400 +/- elevation) you were running a FCR around 23/1. That needs hella octane to not detonate. Either in the gas, E, meth, or all 3. (For reference, a Duramax diesel is only 17.5/1)
What I trying to say is I want XXX hp and what do I need to make it happen within a particular engine. I do not want to just throw money and tears at it based on a guess.
Does it really matter what I own? Or what car I put a motor in? I thought this was a brotherhood type thing. I'm not trying to bust anyone's balls. Sorry if it comes across that way. I'm just trying to figure out the best way to hit my goals with what is available and I'm asking the peeps in the group to share some hard earned knowledge while I give some of mine and we all become better.
So, back to the topic.... Was the 750 @ 16.5 bone stock except for lt4 fueling? What octane fuel?
