I used to have a 93 inch dual plugged Shovel head Harley back in the early 90's that made 145 crankshaft horse power built by Brad Oehler ( Brads son is Flying Ryan Oehler on NHRA PS bike category) and I could not kick start it with race gas when cold as it just wouldn't start had to push start it until warm then I could kick it , put some 87 Octane and I could kick start it one kick every time cold hot didn't matter , the OP really shouldn't need race gas with his compression ratio and aluminum heads ,
