Don't just add fuel for the heck of it. Especially if you don't have a CAI. Get an oil catch can if you don't already have one. Use the Diablosport recommended gas. Then Log your LT and ST Knock Retard at WOT. If it goes over 3 or 4 consistantly then try adding 3% fuel accross the RPM ranges. Then log KR again to see if it goes down.

so what if you, at the track test &tune, add a little too much fuel in the mid or high range to see trap speed differences. 5% was improvement & KR went down to 2% 10% didnt change much. is this an ok method of testing?
!2% seemed fine too it pulled hard

At the track get some 100 octane unleaded gas. Add a little at a time (depending on how much you already have in the tank). The goal is to get your 91 octane to really be 91 or 93 to really be 93.
Get a catch can. That helps lower KR.
On the street try a few different brands of gas (ARCO, Sunoco, Mobil, and BP are recommended) and log your KR. Continue to use the brand that gives you the lowest KR.
