If you are responding to my post, i dont use boosters, and never will... all wastes of money... I mean actual race gas of 104. i want to buy it in bulk rather than worrying about it going to the track...

I have heard good things about torco, although I have never used them. But if you want peace of mind just use race gas.

Here's the thread...

Adding 32oz of Toro in a 10 gallon tank of 93, you get 96.5 octane gasoline... Proven by a test made by one of the Torco vendors...

At 14.5 dollars per can its not bad...

Buy the 5 gallon drum. Its like getting 20 cans of Torco for less than 9 dollars per can...

Today i received my 5 gallon drum!!!!

based on the test posted on a full tank of a 93 octane i can get a bit over 95 octane with the 32oz dosage... Having 20 dosages in the 5 gallon drum and doing on average 230 miles per tank i can have my car on 95+ octane gas for 4600 miles for only 178 dollars more on the fill-ups...

The problem with this is not the Torco. It is the base fuel that you put in.

You think you are adding 93 octane or even 91 for the smog areas although is it that good? Don't use this as a race gas alternative. It is a booster, at best.

Personally with the torco i still use no more than 24psi spikes...

When i go higher i use the same quantity of torco in 5 gallons which i have tested up to 26psi spikes on the road and 0 knocksums everywhere, either in 2nd, or 3rd or even 4th gear...!!!

At the track i will definitely be using racegas! I am kind in love with the smell of C16...!!!
