That's for you and your engine builder to figure out. Lots of variables, including timing and spark plug heat range. If you're not worried about max HP and just a DD, and want to use straight 91 gas, then definitely go lower than higher. I mix to be safe, but I think around 10:1 +/-. Not sure, I'd have to recheck my paperwork.
