100 Ocatane mixture cures KR woes, but...

After going through half of my tank, a 50-50 mix of CA 91 and 100 from Unocal, I haven't seen ANY of the KR I'd been seeing over the last few weeks. This makes Spooner's "bad gas" theory correct, however I still have a few more weeks before heading out to FL and kissing this SHIT CA gas goodbye - is there anything I can do in the interim so that my car will like the 91 gas better?

I'm gapped at .040 now (NGK BKR7E), and think I might try closing the gap down to about .035 and see if that helps, but if not - then what?

Anything I can TUNE to help me out for the next few weeks?

Oh, and by the way - EVERYTHING Spoon said about this car and race gas are ABSOLUTELY true. I figure I'm running about 95ish right now, and the pick-up and go this car has had all day is insane...even in the heat! I can ONLY imagine this puppy on a tank of pure 100!!!

1 gallon of xylene and a cap of marvel mystery oil normally accompany every tank of gas in my srt-4

I also want to SERIOUSLY play with one of these cars with meth injection. I've been toying with that stuff for years and I know I can get some serious gains out of it

I like the idea of meth, a tad more boost and 10.5 compression pistons
