Torco is local and a ton of places stock it. I keep a case in the garage for when I know I'm going to do some racing. Great stuff.

Very surprised your blowing the tires off in 2nd I mean if i just punch the gas in 2nd then yes my car will be all over the place BUT once i heat up my Invo's (In Mexico) its very manageable in a 2nd gear roll on!! & my car made a tad more RWTQ then yours

It costs $20/can, a local speed shop always has it in stock, and it gives me a little piece of mind when I do those 3rd gear power downshifts on the (Mexican) fwy.

So I'm going to get meth, and drop my pulley from 3.6" to 3.4". I figure that should get me to about 675-700, which I consider about the limit of useable power on the street (without 4WD), not to mention with a stock drivetrain. And I'll still probably use a can of Torco in every tank.
Placed my order for a 6-Pack of Torco Was gana go for the Drum off the bat... BUT id rather have the cans first... So when i get the 5 gallon container i have the cans to pour it into for a convenience Before the Meth i was mixing 93 w/ Sunoco 100 for a boost in Octane for cheap insurance! Now that i have the Meth i decided to take the plunge on the Torco instead of the 100

I haven't tried warming the tires before doing a 2nd gear rolling start. Darn PSS's aren't cheap, lol. Is that Torco stuff really $20 per can?

Eric-
Car sounds awesome! ECS is a great shop, and I'm glad our headers did the job.

I know Torco works as an octane booster, but you guys do know it has MMT in it, right? I don't know what long term damage (if any) it causes, but it's the additive that makes your spark plugs and combustion chambers orange.

From what I know, when it is burned in an engine, the result is some type of metallic residue that sticks to everything in the combustion/exhaust stream areas. It can coat 02 sensors and cats, which I think is the reason MMT is no longer used in pump gas. It was commonly used back in the day, FWIW.

Thoughts on MMT? I used the NOS Racing formula octane booster with MMT for a while on my 335i before I switched over to E30 fuel, and I even noticed the inside of my turbo housings and turbine wheels were orange from the stuff.
