But....it ain't gonna run on 87 octane at 11.2. It's going to take premium fuel with a splash of some sort of octane increaser - avgas, racing gas or an aftermarket booster.

OK, I'll try less advance. Sorry, what do you mean setting per the sticky?

Yes, I was thinking before I'd try premium with a booster. Will do.
