It would make a difference if you need to run an octane above 93, yes.

That's the reason I have Torco for a backup....electric pumps or switches can possibly fail (however unlikely it may be), but my octane boost will always be mixed in my Shell 93

Enter Klotz - Klotz Octane Booster is as effective, if not better at raising octane and leaves no residue. If you need any, call...we stock it in bulk and drop ship cases.


KLOTZ OCTANE BOOSTER

Klotz is the leader and innovator in producing Octane Boosters and still the front runner in actual numbers of octane increased per ounce and cost effectiveness. Klotz Octane Booster provides extra strength in building octane and upper cylinder lubrication. One ounce per gallon of gasoline will raise the octane 2-1/2 numbers. Proper octane level helps eliminate pre-ignition and detonation, allowing engine to run cooler and to its fullest potential.

Klotz Octane Booster is environmentally safe and provides lubrication benefits equal to tetraethyl lead. Formulated to increase octane ratings of leaded or unleaded gasoline by 10 numbers or more if desired. Klotz Octane Booster is designed as a legal additive in all types of stock class racing. Adding more Octane Booster to gasoline than needed is not necessarily harmful, but simply becomes non-effective past a certain point. No more than 120 total octane can be achieved with gasoline as a fuel by nature. Using a significantly higher octane content than required can actually reduce power, as the effect of the slow burning fuel produces less combustion pressure. Klotz Octane Booster is also an excellent gasoline stabilizer preserving gasoline up to 16 months during storage.

Tests indicate the yield these added benefits...

* 1 oz. per gallon raises octane 2-1/2 numbers - 2 to 3 oz. per gallon produces significantly racy exhaust odor.
* Helps stop pre-ignition & detonation -Absorbs water condensation
* Helps stop engine run on & Cleans Fuel injectors
* Allows higher compression ratios & increases throttle response
* Provides upper cylinder lubrication equal to lead
* Preserves gasoline in fuel tank up to 16 months


PERFORMANCE APPLICATION DIRECTIONS: One ounce per gallon will raise the octane 2.5 numbers, for racing add 3oz. per gal. of fuel. (Octane can be raised 10 numbers or more if desired). Experiment by trial and error to find the most suitable combination. To help eliminate varnish build-up in carburetor and fuel systems on a regular day to day basis, add one ounce to two gallons of gas periodically. Klotz Octane Booster has extra strength which makes it very effective & because of this it must be packaged in metal containers to maintain its strength. WARNING: DO NOT mix with Nitromethane, a violent reaction or explosion will occur. However, this product CAN be used with the Klotz NITRO Propanol additive as shown above.

STORAGE APPLICATION DIRECTIONS: Add one ounce per gallon to preserve gasoline from 6-8 months. Or two ounces per gallon for 12-16 months storage.

Flash point 125 degrees ~ SAFE FOR UNLEADED and CATALYTIC CONVERTER APPLICATIONS

TECH TIP: KLOTZ OCTANE BOOSTER FOR OXYGENATED GAS-

Klotz KL-602 Octane Booster is the perfect fix for the new government mandated oxygenated fuels in some states. These new clean burning fuels use Ethanol or MTBE (a form of alcohol/ether) and are putting racers and serious recreational users in a panic. High performance engines do not react favorably to these fuels because they tend to run lean. The chemical engineers at Klotz have the answer! Just add 1-2 ounces of Kl -602 per gallon of gasoline to control the burn speed of the gas and absorb any moisture that the alcohol will draw. This simple solution will save you thousands in engine repairs and still allow you to run your machines on the edge!
Yeah. What he said.
I don't think a lot of you guys realize what a HUGE disadvantage we have with our (barely) 91 Octane California gas.
One can of booster can easily mean a 75 HP gain. I know that may sound like an exageration, but I have done it and know it to be true.
I do not sell the stuff so I am talking from pure experience and not from a marketing point of view.

Can you post the third-party verification documentation? That would really help ALL of us out - and this would be the end all be all thread that settles the debate definitively!

No need for us to make a bet since you've already been through and have the documentation to prove it!

Thanks!

I "Will" take you up on the challenge. I am assuming you are referring to TORCO.

Both myself, and Jim Bell, the owner of Kenne Bell superchargers were skeptics just like you. We sent a can off to have it tested. I was freaking floored as to the results. Since then, Jim Bell, even had Carol Shelby (Shelby Automotive) test it. Now Both Carol AND Jim buy it from Joel.

Sooo, that being said, I will be MORE than happy to buy the Torco. You set up the test, and I will do whatever you want me to do with it. When it passes, you publicly admit your a changed man, AND pay for my case of Torco.. If your right, i'll fly out to Cali, and smack Joel around for costing me so much money..

But there are ALOT of well respected tuners on this board who swear by it. My shop is one of them. I am the ONLY other person on this board who has actually tested it first hand, AND paid for it.

I have only been a member here for a few months. I have been reading and learning a lot. I do appreciate that. I am not a vendor and have no affiliation with any. I am troubled with no posting by non supporting vendors. If there are products that can help (me and other members) and they are not supporters why not allow them to be mentioned/compared. If they are intelligent and honorable it is only logical they would want to become supporting vendors. If I am misreading or not understanding please help me. Just my 2 cents.
thanks
