Sorry for the late reply; got slammed at work and xmas stuff.
Yes, the fuel seems to be pretty consistent at the same station. I normally only really check it when they start to switch the supply for the winter mix, which is E70. Being in Texas, some stations do not make any changes. Northern states will.

I run 11.5:1 with 13-14 lbs of boost. When I dropped a valve seat, since I had to get a new piston I decided to replace all of them and upped the compression, really glad I did. Drives fantastic! Did 750rwhp with 13-14boost, Boost controller was set to 13 but I suspect is creeped up a bit and the boost comes in much quicker now. I ran out of injectors, the 80s got maxed out so I had to stop at 13psi.
