Just keep advancing the timing until it starts to ping when you flog it real hard. My g200 with a 1600 TG head can handle about 10 degrees static running premium ULP + octane booster (And valve lube).

You can run ULP or PULP so long as you as some lube in the fuel. LRP is just ULP with some sort or petroleum oil in in it to cushion the exhaust valves. Newer cars get away with running ULP straight by having harder exhaust valves.

You can buy upper head / valve lube from marlows or repco or where ever.

The better fuel you use the more advance you can run and the more power you can make.

If it pings at 10 degrees take two degrees of and keep trying. If not then try 12 etc . . .
