Looking for a little more than a DLE 55
Not much heavier than a standard G62.

IS your "model" engine designed to run at a steady rpm state? NO
At this time i do not own any R/C gas engines, I do how ever have a highly modded yamaha raptor that i drag race in the dunes. I have seen some many times where guys will run "race gas" or "AVGAS" and "think" they now have a race engine or an engine that makes more power.
IF your engine has low compression to run just fine on 87-89 octane gas with a preset ignition timing, then why will the engine make more power on a high octane gas? It doesnt.
Your gas like you said is burning slow so how is that better? That might be good if your engine is over propped.
How much is that race gas costing you?
Anyway its a hobby and if you want to run that AVGAS then thats your choice but when you suggest it to other give them all the facts first so they can make an informed decision.
You can get some very good "race" gas in the 89-91 octane range that works very well and will give you that "race" gas smell.
