I wouldn't; it's not going to increase the octane although it may slow the rate of combustion. One thing for sure - it's a solvent and it's going to raise all kinds of Hell with the carb.

Another option, not a great one - but workable - would be to go with a really thick head gasket. Going from an .028 to like an .056 or .060 would drop the CR into the 10.5 or so range which is a heckuva lot more reasonable and will probably run with full ignition advance on premium fuel...barely.

You end with with a horrifying quench, but this is all about making what you have work...
