Octane Boost Source?
Anyone knoww of a product that works? The stuff you buy at the Auto Zone type places is a joke. In the fine print, it states it will raise octane by 1/10 of 1 point.

IMO anything in 12 to 16 ounce can is a rip!

Union 76 100 Ocatane gas. Five bucks a gallons. Add about 3-4 gallons, top off with 92 unleaded. There's a blending chart available from UnoCal/Tosco for calculating your octane boost. Works great, burns clean and your car will haul...

This Vetman90's son, I have a 2000 Mustang GT with about 525rwhp, i use Torco on every fill up and it works wonders!!!!
jbsblownc5 - if you can't post it here, would you mind emailing me what you charge? I usually buy about 10-20 cans at a time. Thanks!!! :D robeby@robs2000gt.com

Run one can per fill-up and expect 100 octane. $10.00 for this along with a tank of super unleaded is a lot cheaper than racing fuel where I live. ;)

Re: Octane Boost Source? (Richin Chicago)
One can appears to be a quart size. You get the 100 octane when treating 10 gallons of CA junk fuel...........91 octane super unleaded. If you get 93 octane at your pump, expect a higher end result. We run one can per 10 gallons of 91 on a supercharged small block with 18 lbs boost on a hot day.....NO PING!!! 525HP at the wheels. ;)

Re: Octane Boost Source? (Richin Chicago)
I have tested Torco a few times and found it to be quite effective. I can tell if my mixter is off by the timing being pulled. Drop in a can and let her rip!!
If you figure that 9 gallons of 100 mixed with 9 gallons of 91 would give you about 96 octane, then one can for around 12 bucks would be a heck of a lot cheaper for about the same octain if you mixed it with a full tank.

I'm sorry but that seems too good to be true. Are you sure you are not getting 9 octane points? How much does a can cost?
