The MSD Boost Timing Master works well
(BTDT) but won't allow you to run more
timing!! There comes a point wherein it
is not worthwhile running a blower because of lack of octanes,
especially
with Judson and Shorrocks vane type
blowers which do "compression heating"
whether in or out of boost, unless one has
an intercooler or water injection.

Yet, the BTM will keep you out of trouble
and save the engine so it's certainly worth
having in any event.

Moroso, 104 and/or 104+ work according
to Vizard but only marginally so and if you
add too much, they won't work at all. Most
octane boosters will also leave behind
unwanted combustion "product".

Do a web search under (automotive) racing gasoline or
fuels and you will find a site which explains ways of making home brews
containing toulene and the like. If you
have chemical suppliers in the neighborhood and enough room in the
garage, this might be the way for you to
go (really) considering the lack of required
octanes available commercially in your
geographic area.

I appreciate your "situation" as I am
a Judson kind of guy.....you gotta find a
way to get up to at least 98PON or so
to make the application "work" for you
without being a PITA!!
