well, if you're intercooled, run 93 oct. gas, retard you timing all the way at the dizzy, unplug your coolant temp sensor and hand an extra one off the plug in the engine bay, you can run 5 psi on the stock injectors and still run pretty rich. i don't suggest doing this for a long time at all or beating on the car like this, it's just enough to get by, but stay out of boost as much as possible.
