How Much Torco, and How Much Boost?

What is your Torco to gasoline mix? (i.e., 1 32 ounce bottle to 10 gallons of 91)? More? Less?

And how much boost are you running with that mix?

Thanks!

I mix two quarts per tankful (about 18 gallons). This gives me right around 97 octane mixed with 91. I run between 12 and 14 #s of boost at peak RPM. NO KR!!!

I've been running it in every tank fo the last 5 years! Works for me...

I buy from jbsblownc5 (best prices, fast shipping and awesome customer service) and run a quart per tankful of 92 Octane. No KR and max boost is tad over 12psi.

jbsblownc5, what static compression?

FactoryRaceCar, good advice. I already bought from jbsblownc5, and have a six-pack waiting at home.

What is the recommended ratio to obtain 100 octane on a full tank of pump 92?

Right now I run 11.5 psi on pump 93 with no alky, so I'm hoping a can or two of Torco in the tank will allow me to go to 12 or 13 psi. Of course, I'll be scanning/logging, and ready to tune, but want an idea of what you guys have seen.

Resistance is futile!

What I'd really like is to raise the boost after 5000 rpm - no sooner.

Aren't you using an eBoost2 controller? Have you done this?

Here is what is printed on the can of Torco MACH Series Accelerator Race Fuel Concentrate - Unleaded...

For a 97 Octane Race fuel, treat 20 gallons of 93 octane min. gasoline (with one 32 oz. can)

For a 104 Octane Race fuel, treat 10 gallons of 93 octane min. gasoline (with one 32 oz. can)

For a 107 Octane Race fuel, treat 5 gallons of 93 octane min. gasoline (with one 32 oz. can)

I do have the eboost2.. but running 91 octane with 11.6 psi(i have run 13.1 before no knock).. i do also have 9.4 to 1 compression so im a little more boost friendly..
how much boost are you running and what is your c/r?
