if you know where to get race gas, mix some of that in... get the octane up!
until then, avoid hills, and dont boost! maybe even syphin the gas out.

Pull off the WG arm and you will have zero boost. You can go WOT all you want after that. Low compression pistons and no boost means you could likely spray a 35 shot and still be ok.
