Be sure that the compression ratio is set that reg gas can be used efficiently...should be no need for premium if this is set up during the rebuilding process...

  With my complete re-build last summer, the mechanic insisted (in order to keep the 15 month warranty valid), that:
  1.) Never let the engine lug, especially in 4th gear. In order to help me make sure of this, I also paid for a Cylinder Head Temperature Guage to be installed on the dash.
  2.) Use Premimum Gas.
