Why not add some 110 octane or race gas? 110 octane is aviation fuel. It is referred to as 110LL.

Yes retune for the 91 and DO NOT use the octane booster. It will kill you in the end.

My Kenne Bell manual says to use NOS brand booster if you get ahold of bad gas, but I've seen it posted several places that the amount of octane boost is a different standard and actually around 1/10th of what the can says. In other words=useless.

Do not use octane booster! It will foul your plugs up!

The "LL" refers to "low lead" In other words it's not unleaded, so I wouldn't use that.

I'd try to run race gas in my car every once in a blue moon, but I can't find a place in So Cal to get it w/o buying it by the barrel.

You'd think that living in SD, (and the East County, at that, where most of the off roading world for the truggies, race trucks, dune buggies, etc. were born) that I'd be able to find a place that I could get a couple of gallons, but no dice.

Hey Sprzout!
Try VP racing fuels. I buy it at a 76 station when I go to the drags at Perris. If you go to their web site, they have a number to call for dealers.
