I ran a 50/50 mixture of 110 and 93 pump gas in a 11.5-1 396 with no problems.

I believe straight 110 is a bit overkill for a 11.5-1 motor, that's what I run in my 13-1 496.

Ran the same 50/50 mix in my 11.5 383. I beleive with aluminum heads you may be able to cheat that down a little more and save a few bucks on fuel...
