Av gas may be another option for you if you live near a small airport.
I mix av 50/50 for a race bike that needs high octane and it works great.
BTW, race fuel and Av gas both have a very long shelf life.

Airports and marinas are also a good source of no-alcohol fuel ("real gas").

I used to do that all the time. Just took 4 5-gallon jugs to the airport and filled them with good stuff.

Also since your are in Redondo Beach, if you ever take a drive out to Fontana Speedway, there is a Sunoco station there that serves up some great stuff if you ever want to give your car a real treat!

Similarly Spring Mountain has racing fuels available at the pump but it's inside the compound so you might have to be a member to get access.

Only thing is that once you have run through a tank of good 105-110 octane gas, you never want to go back!

You can order it and have it shipped to your door. I know many people that do it that way. Also, get the leaded 110. You don't need unleaded 100 with a carb.

My SCR with brodix fast burn heads is 10.78:1 with .045 quench (quench could be better I know), timing 14*/32*. During very Hot weather I was getting a little run on at shut down. I tried octane booster made by KLOTZ and NOS, both products worked at stopping it so it's not snake oil. Is it worth it and how much does it increase the fuel octane I can't answer that. I stopped using the octane booster because it leaves the MMT deposits.
I started mixing Toluene in my fuel with a touch of Marvel Mystery oil, that worked also and the car felt responsive, but it was not cheap at 20.00 a gallon and it's dangerous but I just wanted to see. It burned clean also.
Finally I just decided to buy Sunoco 110 leaded race gas 10.00/gal and mix it at 25%. The car likes it and it works for me. Plus it smells good. Do I really need this- No, I can get away with 93 pump gas but a guy I spoke to who is a race motor builder was in the side business of checking fuel at various gas stations in the past said that the fuel at the pumps is so inconstant that you never know when your getting a bad batch and it is not clean. Take a look at the backs of your intake valves someday after running pump gas for a few years (ugly). The race fuel seems to keep things cleaner and it's just good insurance. I'm not worried about the $5.00/gal I'm probably paying for the mixtures. Well this is my humble opinion based on my experiences. Good Luck.

Yup. My friend bought a 54 gal drum of VP Racing 110 and loves the stuff! It was about $700 for the fuel plus shipping. 
He protects it like it was his first born child! I know, because I have tried to "borrow some".

Lucas products makes a bump additive I think? Used to use it, was great.
I am lucky as 93 easy to find on this coast and Cam2 is available at pump 108 octane.

I buy the 110 leaded in 55 gallon barrels and they deliver it. I had to pay a one time barrel deposit years ago when I started having them deliver it to me. No charge for the delivery. They also have 114 leaded octane but I don't need that.

What is MMT?
