87 octane 460

I dont know about all of your 460's, but mine runs like crap on 87 octane unless i advance the timing more than i care too admit....on 92 it runs great with gobs of torque....i was searching google and found and article from a popular magazine where they built a low-compression 460 with some aftermarket goodies on it, just to see what kind of numbers it would run.....i thought some of you might enjoy it....it even shows some teardown pics with explanations that might be helpfull to some....
