116 octane fuel?  Did you find any lead lining the exhausts?

 
16.5:1 compression
SMC heads and block
at least 6 oil lines external to the block+heads
750 HP 600 lb×ft
9,300 Red Line
Hewland 5 speed transmission
and it weighted only 1600 pounds
 
The fuel mas mainly Toluene, benzene, and Acetone, with some other
bad stuff in there.

"bad stuff"?

Tetraethyl lead, I assume... which I was alluding to asking about
lead lining the exhausts.

As one of the people who are allergic to natrium benzoate, I have a very
healthy respect for the reactive qualities of a carbon hex ring with
alternating single and double bounds.

Hmm... but that's the beonzoate, not benzene itself (which
is carcinogenic, hazard statement H350).  But the Benzene ring
(which does not really contain alternate single and double bonds,
those electrons are smeared together) is certainly one of the most
versatile chemical moeities; it also forms a reasonable part of
us all, for examle in the form of Tyrosine, an amino acid which
is one of the 20 standard amino acids forming all proteins.

Unlike Sunoco 260 it smelled horrid going in, but smelled great coming
out of the tail pipes.

The only good benzene is a fully oxidized version?

It's one of the most important raw materials for the chemical
industry.  Polyethylene terephtalate, from which plastic bottles
and clothing is made of (via p-Xylene -> terephtalic acid),
Polycarbonate (vie Phenol), the upholstery of the chair you're
likely to be sitting on (via Toluene -> Dinitrotoluene -> ... TDI ->
Polyurethane), ...

Trying to find the relevance to computer architecture... and
not really succeeding :-)
