It can be poor gas at the station at winter, water or somwthing mist in the tanks.. The plugs need to be one step hotter cuz of the winter minus degrees. In norway we have shell 98 and 95 and some idiot truck filled 95 in the 98 octane tank. My car struggled with that ****.

By 95octane you mean 95ron fuel or 91 US? Was the car tuned to run on 91 fuel? 21psi is too much for 91 fuel if the car is untuned. Stock tune is made with 93 (98ron) fuel in mind, so either use 93 or have it tuned to run on 91.

Miami is 80*f right now, I don't think the season is an issue here.

I think you should reduce timing at 5000 to 6*, 5500-6000 to 8*, and at 6250-6500 to 9*

Your air/fuel ratio seems to be alright for the most part so you could possibly be ramping timing up too early. But I also suggest that you add fuel in that same range to get it back down to 11.5 from 5000-6500.
