Fuel Issues
who sells torco additives on the forum, and are the results as good as race fuel alone? want to run on 104 octane, I read if you mix 320z to 10 gallons of 93 you get 104, is this correct.

Take this situation. In a 20 gallon tank, mix 10 gallons of 92 octane with 10 gallons of 104 octane. You will definitely not get 98. You might barely get 95 believe it or not. Dont ask me how this works but i have heard that will be the result.

I mixed 10 Gallons 91 octane with 1 32 oz can of Torco, and the Lab told me it was 96.5.
If you mix it with 93, I imagine it would be around 98.5.
Mix 5 gallons of 93 with 1 can of Torco, and you "should" be around your target goal. I have only had lab tests done on the above combo, make sure you check KR when trying your own mix!!!
Let me know!
