Boost & Torco
I'm looking to use Torco as a safety net.
I know one bottle with 93 octane should yield 96-98 octane, but if i use 2 bottles would this increase the octane or is their a point of no net gain?
Just looking to add the extra bottle during hot weather or summer driving.

My tests where done with 91, and I mixed it at only one quart per 10 gallons for a net octane of 96.5.

Ok good to know this was only 10 gals... So if my calculations are correct- A full tank is 18 gal. 10 gals / 18gal is .55 or 55% of the full 10 gal strength formula which was an increase of 5.5 octane numbers or round down to 5. Get 5.5 octane numbers and x .55 or 55% is 3.... So on a full tank of gas 91 or 93 octane as a base, add 1 bottle and it will/might increase the octane by 3 full numbers- 91 = 94 octane or 93=96 octane on a full tank of gas...

Quick comment about Torco:
I've never told Joel this, but a few months ago I had one of my sponsors send a 32oz can of Torco off to the labs where they test CH***ON gas. This was actually the "Lab". They sampled the can in NUMEROUS ways. 10%, 20%, 30% strength. They also broke down the chemical base in the fuel (that I cant disclose)
Needless to say, they were blown away. They had never seen a can of fuel do what it did (thats on the market for retail sale that is). So much, that the manufacturer that had the can tested called me LATE in the evening to tell me their findings. Originally, he himself laughed at me when I told him what it did. Hence the reason he sent the can out to be tested. (wanting to prove me wrong)
Anyways, The can of Torco added 7 octane to the 93 octane fuel. I would be speaking out of line if I told you EXACTLY how it worked, or the way they tested it. Cause I dont know the specifics. BUT, when 32oz of Torco is added t o 93 octane gas, they acheived 100 octane. I cant remember exactly how many gallons of 93 but it was what Joel typically reccomends. They also said additional oz's of Torco does nothing.
This is NO B*llsh!t. I didnt tell a soul that I had this tested. I wanted to see for myself.
So in a nut shell, it is ABSOLUTELY 100% accurate in its abilities. This test was performed in an independant lab, without ANYONES knowledge.
Torco WILL gain you 7 octane when added to your gas...Period..
Sorry Joel, I wanted to see what I was putting in the tank..You now have a guaranteed customer..
