First of all I would like to thank everyone for there input into my questions. I'm a first time blaster owner and I can see why they are so popular. I'm an auto mechanic of 17 years and have a great understanding of 4 strokes, compression ratio's and the octane level needed for them.
Well 2 strokes is a whole new ball game I'm finding out. I see that the stock CR is 6.6:1 and it requires 93 octane. I think raising your compression is one the cheaper and easier ways to do it. So when I found someone that has a raised dome piston on ebay and stated that you can still run 93 octane I thought the only way to do this is by running a bigger jet. Or you can also raise your octane too. I can get 110 octane here in town no problem. It would just be a hassle taking it along with you on the trails. I would probably have to take a gallon with me to fill up in the next town. But the power increases might be worth it.
So my question is why does a lower compression 2 stroke require higher octane versus a 4 stroke? Just curious in trying to understand the physics behind it.
