They are pricey when factoring in the turn key warranty, as in you turn the key the warranty is over and the high octane fuel requirement.
Best Idea- Buy 1075's then change the stickers in on top of the motor. 99.9% of onlookers won't catch it!
Only you and your mechanic will be the wiser!

GATORONE and mrhorsepower1 hit the nail on the head !!
When I turn up the boost in my engines and NEED to run 110 octane, I need to bring it from home, cause there's no place on the water on lake Michigan that'll sell it. (that I know of at least) Horny Toad in the Ozarks has it year round, and maybe a couple places in Fla too, but for the most part, it's a PAIN in the azz.
Smells good tho. 
Like Dean says, most "reputable" engine builders can make that kind of HP on pump gas................and LIVE.
