TORCO works!?
I thought I'd try Torco instead of blending 105 race gas with my 91 octane stuff to get 100 octane at the 1/8 mile track last night. I don't know how it works but it seems to work.
I ran 24 degrees timing at WOT & 7 lbs boost with no KR with one 32 oz can added to about 9 gallons of 91 octane CA gas. This is the tune I usually use for 100 octane race gas. I even stepped it up 1 degree and still no KR!
For reference, this is on my 2004 MagnaCharged LS1 GTO.
Sorry, it's not a 'Vette. But I lurk here because you guys are about
1 1/2 years ahead of the GTO forums on FI.
4050 lbs race weight, 8.20's @ 88 mph on Qualcomm's slippery 1/8 mile strip.
More testing to come.

You will have it shortly...
I also run Meth injection with my Torco, and find it to be a very nice cocktail.
enjoy,

I've run it in my old Suzuki, but it not a 2 stroke. It made the thing scream though the RPMs!!

Is this stuff better then tossing in a gallon of Xylene? From what I understand it's near 117 octane and a lot less ounce for ounce then Torco. The Xylene has no lubricants so you can't go crazy with the stuff though.
