Default Torco Help!

I can locate plenty of posts on how well Torco works. Can someone tell me where to purchase at the best price. I just got my car back with a TTi X kit and want to raise her right .

Thanks,
The Big Dog

I sell it at a very competitive price.


www.jbsblownc5.net

you can order off my site. It's $85 for the 6 pack case of 32 oz cans, and $138 for the 5 gallon jug plus shipping and Haz Mat.

Torco sells the case on their site for $119.70, and the jug for $148.70, then add shipping as well...

We can ship or drop ship anywhere in the continential 48 states.
Thanks,
JB

The five gallon does give the most bang for your buck!!!

It's 177.95 delivered, which boils down to $8.8975 per quart!

how much should you add to a '02 z06 full gas tank to raise 91 octane to 100 octane?

Since one 32 oz can will bring 10 gallons of 91 up to 96.5, 2 quarts in 18.5 gallons will put you somewhere between 97 and 98 octane.. I've heard of a very reputable tuner getting a little higher octane then I'm quoting, but I like to play it safe...

I've not personally tested exactly how much you'd need to hit 100 with 91 octane, but I put in 2 cans per tank in my car, and run 14#s of boost at 26 degrees of timing with ZERO knock retard!!

So one can go from 91 to 96.5. Using 93 octane as a base and adding one can, do you get the same/similar 5 point lift = 98?
What does 18 gals of 93 with one can equal and the same with two cans??

Joe, thanks for the Torco the 5 gals arrived yesterday. Very quickly!!

Yes, you should be around 98.5, if you start with 93.

With 18 gallons of 93 and 1 can of Torco, you should be around 96 octane. with 2 cans, you should be between 99 and 100 octane!!

Thanks for the order,

JB
