I had to drain the bad gas, fill up somewhere else and did some data logs. After a few pulls, I made all the timing back and the air fuels were dead nuts as they were on the Dyno originally.

It's always a good idea to choose the gas stations that have the most amount of traffic and half a quart of Torco Accelerator has worked great for me on every fill up.
You still use Torco even though you have methanol? Please explain, prior to using methanol I did look into using Torco for an anti-detonation solution.
