Or do a cam to bleed off some dynamic compression and 93 octane will work better. The thing for me is I would have a hard time tearing the engine down for a cam install since it has to basically be torn down to the short block anyway and not do lower compression forged pistons. Jenetty's 700whp 93 combo does work but you are pretty much capped off at that power level if you leave the stock pistons in it. So if you ever want more, then it's coming back apart again for pistons/rods.

Agreed. If you have to run 93, running the drop in forged pistons is a no brainer (with the lowered compression). I haven’t run my car on 93 only in a long time, but last check I made ~840 WHP on 93 and that was with my old 2.9 Whipple.
All that said…even a blend of E is SO worth the aggravation. I’m able to make the power number in my signature at “only” E50. And with at least E50, you could run the stock bottom end for a long time at say 650-700 WHP.
