Is anybody using this? I used to use this back a few years ago and had success....thinking about trying it out again to crank the boost and timing up a little....

It works very well, with fuel quality dropping faster then the stock market, it's a great idea to use it on any high HP car.

I have a gallon in the garage. Local mustang guys swear by it. I've seen good results with it in their cars.

Is torco still in business? With Obama in office would have thought he'd have the EPA shut them down.

It's just added safety to put some in the tank without tuning anything differently right?

What are people running for a ratio? Gas v. Torco?

How do they ship this stuff?

My car made 930 with 14 degrees of timing and 22 lbs of boost. Pump gas and methanol. Going to need to crank up the timing to crack 1000.......

I don't wanna run race gas......but maybe thats the better option.....hmmm.

I drive the car maybe 1000 miles a year, and would like to see 1000-1100 rwhp.

hey Fast,

if you wanna crank her up just spend a couple of extra bucks for the race gas....why risk it for an additional 30-40 bucks (for 5 gallons).
my buddy buys 112 octane 300 gallons at a time. truck comes and pumps it into his 300 gallon tank. he sells to me for 9 bucks a gallon!
93 gas cost me $4.25....112 basically double

Thats awsome. What kind of fuel is it?

I don't care about the cost - I care about the pain in the *** of going out to get race gas LOL.

that stuff is made in a lab it's not a petroleum fuel

I dump a little in the tank when I turn my nitrous up just as a percaution. It works well.

Torco has done wonders for me. I have been using it since 2006 with excellent results.
